rise of the 'Lazy Girl" jobs

When comparing the median salary between men and women, a 2021 report from Payscale reports that women earn 82 cents for every dollar men make. This 18% difference is the raw gender pay gap.

However, when accounting for other factors besides gender, such as in education, experience, location, and industry, the gender wage gap shrinks dramatically to just a 2% difference. So the controlled gender pay gap means that women are making 98 cents for every dollar men make.

I never really looked into it but 2%. That's basically the difference between being assertive and asking for a raise or being a passive b-word and not asking for a raise. Actually no, it's even less than that.
