Convincing argument for that "pay gap"

Not sure if I'm overlapping with comments from the other times this was discussed, but...

After we control for hours, occupation, college major, employment sector, and other factors associated with pay, the pay gap shrinks but does not disappear.

Notice that they only talk about comparing "employment sectors" rather than individual jobs or roles specifically. A female "doctor" might be a general practitioner or pediatrician while a male "doctor" might specialize as a cardiologist or surgeon. Within the medical field, "doctors" can see a wide range of pay difference based on their specialization.
