In every field, at every level of education, men earn more than women. That’s the grim takeaway of this new report [PDF] from the U.S. Census Bureau, which assesses the value of a higher education in the United States—and illustrates the persistent pay gap between male and female employees who hold comparable degrees. In short, education is valuable, but it’s most lucrative if you’re male.
I know most of ya’ll already knew this, but this can provide some nice reference for when you come across classmates/family members/friends who refuse to believe the pay gap exists. Unfortunately, it’s alive and well – and no it isn’t their fault; this is called institutional sexism.
