Many apolitical experts argue that the gender wage gap is a myth and, instead, contend that a “gender earnings gap” exists due to the career paths and choices women make in the workplace and in life.
Harvard economics professor Claudia Goldin, who served as the president of the American Economics Association, explained last year that the vast majority of scholarly studies show that women and men typically earn the same right out of high school, college or graduate school. But it’s the choices that men and women make in the years that follow that contributes to the differences in pay. She also explained that men favor competition in the workplace, which makes them work harder and longer, while most women tend to focus on having kids and raising a family later in life, which takes their focus away from their career.
According to CNN, women even make more than men in some industries, including: social work, fashion merchandising, research, social media work, communications and many parts of the health care industry.
Still, many Democrats and progressives, including former President Barack Obama, like to point out that women only make 77 or 78 on the dollar compared to men, despite data showing that not to be the case.
