The Pay Gap

Women earn 75 cents on the dollar compared to men, right? This pay gap is concrete proof of gender discrimination, right?

This article does not in and of itself disprove the above statements, but it doesn't reinforce them, either. What it shows is that statistics can be manipulated, and the real world is much more complicated than any headline could ever admit.

Okay, that was sarcasm. But maybe if I have to clarify because there may be doubt as to whether it's actually true, perhaps I oughtn't blog it?

Deal with it.
