Then, using PayScale's proprietary MarketMatch™ Algorithm, we determined what the female median pay would be using the exact same blend of compensable factors as our control male group.

That's a useless way to gather data. The algorithm would rely on assumptions, so the female data is essentially whatever the researches thought it should be.

Exactly, its more of a job gap than a wage gap, and there are a million reasons why men and women choose different careers.

Trying to debate why there are less male teachers and less female physicists is a very nuanced and detailed discussion with positive and negative lights for both sides.

I tend to be skeptical of anything that requires a fucking trademark after its name and yet is still involved in scientific research. Doubly so if they feel the need to declare it "proprietary", like it's some kind of honor badge that they've patented the ever-loving shit out of it.

Good catch, though.

I read it as you get the same numbers if you apply the same criteria to both groups.
