Sen. Harry Reid was correct, IWF is setting the record straight about the so-called wage gap. The 77-cent statistic is grossly overstated, as every serious study—including those done by liberal groups like the AAUW, has demonstrated. Comparing the earnings of the average full-time working man to the average full-time working woman isnt the equivalent of comparing coworkers performing the same job. It’s like comparing apples to oranges. This basic comparison doesnt take into consideration any of the important factors – such as college major, work experience, industry, specialty, hours spent working each day – all of which have a significant impact on how much someone earns.
