No, median is probably the number you want to do this comparison with. Median does tell you more about the salary of the average worker than an overall average does, for the very reasons that the author of this blog post cites. By definition, there are more people who are closer to the median than there are people close to the average.

That said, I do think that the original article's interpretation of the data is itself bunk because it doesn't account for things like differences in experience, education or even hours worked. Therefore, I think it's misleading to say that women in these fields are paid less for the same work: If you are working fewer hours at a lower skill level, it's not the same work, even if your job title is similar.

It's ThinkProgress. They are nothing but an unregistered arm of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party does nothing but pander to women at this point, so I don't know how this can frustrate you.

This is what being a progressive is -- making up BS excuses as to why everything deserves rights but white men.

The Left and Feminism are two peas in a pod.
