Hey guys. I'm really bad at finding studies/research... maybe one of you guys can help?
I'm interested in reading about the (gender) wage gap. However, I haven't found a study yet that I've found satisfactory, for whatever reason (probably my fault)... so I'll list my criteria down.
All variables except gender/sex are the same. That means comparable degrees/race/work experience/same job title/style of work (i.e. both hourly or both salary)/age/anything else I can't think of right now. Preferably I'd like it taken from the same company as well (as less or more sexist companies could skew the data) from different geographical areas (but all in the USA). Furthermore, I want them to disregard negotiated salaries and only look at initial offers, that way aggressiveness or the decision to take a lower pay for better benefits cannot be taken into account. Also overtime won't be looked at.
Of course, I'd also like a wide variety of jobs. Also preferably I'd like one that doesn't focus too much on jobs that have lots of money that might not get properly taxed (i.e. waiters, strippers, bartenders). It shouldn't matter too much if it's within the same company, but for the sake of reducing variables, it'd be nice.
Thanks c-t!
