Girls Go to College to Get More Knowledge, Boys Go to Jupiter to Get More Stupider

[Maniac Craniac]

Those women are pretty stupid for being “educated”.   I went to college.  My husband did not.  He makes more than double what I make.  Go figure.

Salary doesn't always have anything to do with being educated. I live in a state where teachers are required to have master's degrees and then they're paid $48K a year. Different industries have different salaries. Women also make less than men for the same job. This has been well documented for many years.

Not when controlled for relevant individual factors.

"The controlled gender pay gap is $0.99 for every $1 men make, which is still not equal. The controlled pay gap tells us what women earn compared to men when all compensable factors are accounted for — such as job title, education, experience, industry, job level, and hours worked. Although $0.99 cents may seem very close to $1, small differences in earnings on the dollar can compound over the course of a lifetime career. The gender pay gap should be zero. It is not zero."

A mere 1% difference after accounting for most major, but not all minor factors, and is likely well within the margin of error. It didn't take into account that men are more likely to commute farther for more pay, more likely to leave their current job for more pay, more likely to ask for a raise, more likely to have long tenure with a single employer, etc.
