“In 2010 the median income of FTYR workers was $42,800
for men, compared to $34,700 for women. The female-to-male earnings ratio was
0.81, slightly higher than the 2008 ratio.[2] The female-to-male earnings ratio of 0.81 means that,
in 2009, female FTYR workers earned 19% less than male FTYR workers. The
statistic does not take into account differences in experience, skill,
occupation, education or hours worked, as long as it qualifies as full-time work. However, in 2010, an economist testified to the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee that studies "always find that some
portion of the wage gap is unexplained" even after controlling for
measurable factors that are assumed to influence earnings. The unexplained
portion of the wage gap is attributed by some to gender
discrimination.[3]”
