Moreover, even when women choose the same jobs as men, the wage gap persists."]]> 2017-04-10 13:27:59 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/lz0ixnj16eth/wish/165664416 iajennings19 https://padlet.com/iajennings19/lz0ixnj16eth/wish/165785307 The wage gap is still present when a man and a woman work the same job, so the gap can't be blamed on women's job choice. ]]> 2017-04-10 22:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/iajennings19/lz0ixnj16eth/wish/165785307 iajennings19 https://padlet.com/iajennings19/lz0ixnj16eth/wish/165785519 The pay gap is often blamed on education, or the lack thereof.
