In my field, a lot of the women I know go into areas of medicine that will give them more free time if they want a family, but unfortunately, are also less well paid. But I also know there are studies that try to iron out these factors and still find difference.</p> brimful, that ‘s a good point and I was thinking about the confounding factors as well (the differences between salaries of men and women) what are the four year degrees (BAs vs BS, etc) and can some of the difference be accounted for by what kind of job they have, over-time, different types of jobs?

That's a much more striking difference to mull over, IMHO, though I think all the data are rather confounded by a bunch of factors that have not been accounted for here.</p> I like the way the media has focused on the (relatively) small differences between wages among different women rather than focusing on this part of the article:
