This is a long standing argument, and I see it so often that people argue that men always make more than women. The big discussion that men make more than women because they sacrifice social, family, and put in a lot more hours and time than women do on general. I work in the 2nd largest banking city in the US. I sometimes work till midnight pumping out code for our new start-up.

I'm usually one of the last ones in the building entire building (of 34 floors), occasionally I'll see a few other guys walking home after a late work night. But never women. I know thats a tiny scale to even generalize. But from my perspective, I give up a lot so I can "make more", I say no to going out on friday nights (sometimes) so that I can stay at the office and fix the bugs in our code. (ultimately increasing my pay bonuses). Show me the majority of women that would do that?

Then lets talk about the position women "generally" take. Which is more geared towards, fashion, retail, education, and social departments. Let's face it, women are more social than men, they are designed that way. It's also the least paying positions.

​

How can we get/gather statistics to either disprove or prove that the gender gap is either based on women's overall choices, or employers are actually undercutting them. Because I am sick of this back and forth BS, I want to see real facts. This is what we need, no more speculation, let's see some real data.

Does anyone know a credible source of any current data that exist?
