We know men are already at a salary advantage over women from the moment they enter the job market. According to PayScale, men ages 20 to 24 years earn $32,448 annually (on average) compared to women in the same age group who make $29,016 annually. And this pay gap continues as Ladders reported earlier this year.
Are men more likely to get higher paying jobs?
Glassdoor data showed that men applied for jobs with base salaries averaging $13,635 higher than the ones women applied for, making for an 18.3% pay gap. But the salary gap disappeared when Glassdoor compared job applications from equally-qualified men and women looking for similar jobs.
Do women choose lower paid jobs?
Women are more likely to work in less productive and lower-paid industries, which partly explains why they earn less than men, according to research. Women on average are paid nearly 20 per cent less per hour than men.
