CNN

Yesterday I watched the CNN news in the evening where one news item was about the gender gap which consits all over the world.

The gender gap is usually expressed as the ratio of female to male earnings among full-time, year-round workers. The pay differentials between men and women in employment have been noted since the 1960s.

The reason for this gap is disputed. Some economists have argued that the tendency of women to get together in women's fobs has led to 'occupational crowding', in which the high supply of applicants for 'women's jobs' drives wages for those jobs downwards.

In 2004, women's wages in the USA were 76.5% of men's wages.

Here is a statistic, taken out of the wikipedia website, which shows the differences of earnings between men and women among all races.
