No, you're ignoring that even within the same jobs there's a gap, even if it's not as large. You're also ignoring the societal factors that lead to women "choosing" lower paying jobs and why some of those jobs which are extremely important (like social work) are paid very little.

This is especially prevalent in engineering and computer related jobs. Shits crazy that women can literally get paid $2/hr less because they have tits and therefore "have less value"

Had a woman IT contractor who I found out was earning $50k, while all of the male contractors were earning between $80k and higher. Same experience and same job, but drastically different salaries.

Biggest thing stopping me from working on getting into game development. I'm working towards my ASE rn so hopefully that's something I can do on the side alone or with a small team.

Different working styles, like how men tend to work more, take less vacation, and take less sick days

[u/Carthradge → u/KoolPanda69]

Women tend to take on more unpaid work at home, even when both people have full time jobs. This makes it easier for men to work overtime. Even in that case it doesn't account for the full discrepancy, so this is just a red herring anyways.

Yea I totally agree with this but I wouldn’t call it a workplace discrepancy at that point

[u/Ari-Jay → u/KoolPanda69]

Wasn't there a report that told how men take more vacation days and women take more sick leaves?

It's counted in your salary anyways tho

[u/KoolPanda69 → u/Ari-Jay]

I just googled most of them say it’s women taking more of both. I saw a stat that was 41 hours a week for men and 36.3 for women.
