On That Gender Pay Gap That Isn't....

We are told that there is a pay gap that favors women. Is that your experience?

Time


But the new study suggests that the gap is bigger than previously thought, with young women in New York City, Los Angeles and San Diego making 17%, 12% and 15% more than their male peers, respectively. And it also holds true even in reasonably small areas like the Raleigh-Durham region and Charlotte in North Carolina (both 14% more), and Jacksonville, Fla. (6%).

Just to be clear, these numbers represent how much more a woman makes than a man assuming they are unmarried, childless women under 30 who live in cities.
