The central variable that creates the &quot;gender pay gap&quot; is not sexist employer discrimination. The gap is primarily created by the fact that women, more typically than men, are the ones who raise children full time.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.creators.com&#x2F;read&#x2F;thomas-sowell&#x2F;04&#x2F;14&#x2F;statistical-frauds" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.creators.com&#x2F;read&#x2F;thomas-sowell&#x2F;04&#x2F;14&#x2F;statistica...</a>

I&#x27;m curious how they determined that the 1% of cases were gender and race-based and not something else. With such a small number, it seems like it would be very easy for the variations to be caused by other factors. It is probably good PR for them, but the math behind the decision would be pretty interesting.

This only covers full-time employees (software engineers, designers, and the like), right? Not any of their drivers?

How do you close the wage gap? Is it just bulk monetary transfer to people who identify as women?

Why is it that Asian people are earning 2x more than white people yet article is focusing on &quot;white men&quot;?<p>Nice journalism. Not biased at all.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;rjmHYk0.png" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;i.imgur.com&#x2F;rjmHYk0.png</a>
