New PayScale Study Challenges Conventional Thinking On Why Women Make Less Than Men

This study has deep insight into a smaller number of people, and comes to a different conclusion than larger studies which don't know their subjects at all. Too bad it's not a slam dunk, but they're on the right track here. A few problems with the article,

women hold nearly two-thirds of low-wage jobs

Like, teaching? Unlike, mining and construction? By choice.

if there was no discrimination present in the labor force, women and men would be making the same amount across the board.

... if they made the same life choices.

People are filling positions according to gender, with higher-paid positions being filled by men and lower-paid positions being filled by women.

Right, just assume that it's the employer and not anything the employees chose.

The economic recovery has exacerbated that gap, according to a study from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research. As state and local governments with tight budgets eliminated jobs that were often held by women, largely male-dominated sectors like construction experienced a rebound, the study said.

My god, that was low. Construction jobs were devastated in the collapse, and men's jobs haven't recovered like women's jobs have.

Usual HuffPo bullshit. At least they mentioned this study before spinning it into the ocean of lies.

Pretty surprised huffingtonpost put this story up since it contradicts their commonly pushed stories on the gender pay gap.
