the stats i see always specifically state "for women in the same position, same experience, etc"
i've literally never seen one report that doesn't specify that, because it would make no sense, just like you said

In a lot of analyses of statistics like that, I've seen lots of people point to the fact that women tend to work less hours on average despite everything else being generally equal.
Even the most liberal news source I can find admits it's a myth.

I didn't know there was anyone left who still believed this. It's been torn apart a million times. It simply isn't true.

See in California we were getting around that nonsense by shuffling titles around! Very efficient, hopefully none of the assistant sub directors of efficiency management resource delivery responsible for the idea got a raise for that or payroll's gonna jump now that they closed that loophole!
I'm trying to get my sweetie to do that now. He's underpaid (who isn't these days), but he's also afraid to ask for more money. I keep telling him to ask for a big raise, and the worst that can happen is they say no. Regardless, the fact that he asked will plant a seed, esp if he says he NEEDS a raise, not he WANTS a raise. He tells me about how other people are making more money for the same work with other employers, and I tell him that they already know that but they're not paying him more because he's not asking for it. I don't ride him about it, I'm just trying to increase his confidence so he'll ask.
