While it is widely reported that women face a pay gap when compared to men, this lawsuit is a good example of how misleading that claim is. There are many media reports of a gender gap, often claiming that women are paid only about 80% of what men are paid. When these basic factors are taken into account, the gender pay gap vastly decreases. For example, PayScale issued a report entitled: “The State of Gender Pay Gap 2019” based on a survey of 1.8 million wage earners. Of course, even a two penny per dollar gender pay gap is two pennies too much.
