;Women earn 25% less than men

;Women make only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes

::Although technically correct, this figure is misleading as it implies that a woman will earn less than a man ''for the same job''. In fact, the figure is a result of a survey of ''all'' current full-time jobs, and does not account for the gaps between men and women in terms of occupation, experience, and work-time. In other words, it's not that men earn more for the same work - it's just than men tend to have more job experience as women drop out of the workforce for extended periods to raise child.

::Although technically correct, this figure is misleading as it implies that a woman will earn less than a man ''for the same job''. The 77-cents-on-the-dollar statistic is calculated by dividing the median earnings of all women working full-time by the median earnings of all men working full-time. But these calculations do not reveal a gender wage injustice because it does not take into account occupation, position, education, or hours worked per week. A study by the American Association of University Women, a feminist organization, shows that the actual wage gap shrinks to only 6.6 cents when you factor in different choices men and women make. The small wage gap that does exist has nothing to do with paying women less or sexism; but rather differences in individual career choices that men and women make. Even within the same profession, men and women make different career choices that impact how much money they make. For example, in nursing, where male nurses on the whole earn 18% more than female nurses. Male nurses gravitate to the best-paying nursing specialties, they work longer hours, and disproportionately find jobs in cities with the highest compensation. Nobody knows for sure why there even is a gender wage gap, as there are too many variables that drives wages, but it only exists to the point of vanishing.<ref>https://www.prageru.com/video/there-is-no-gender-wage-gap/</ref>
