THE NEW GENDER DIVIDE
Gender Pay Gap, Once Narrowing, Is Stuck in Place
By DAVID LEONHARDT
A decade ago, it seemed that men and women with similar qualifications
might soon make nearly identical salaries.
Today, that is far harder to envision.
And a quote:
"Nothing happened to the pay gap from the mid-1950s to the late '70s.
Then the '80s stood out as a period of sharp increases in women's pay.
And it's much less impressive after that."
- FRANCINE D. BLAU, a Cornell economist, on gender differences in pay.
