When I jumped into the data it was the data behind the 75% of every one dollar study from about 8 years ago, which was a broad look across all employment and not specific to stem. I think it's fair to say maybe the data I'm referencing is outdated now and I shouldn't have assumed it stayed the same or was the same in every labor sector.
I know there are still differences in the same exact title/role/job that favor men, but at the time of the data in the 75% of every dollar study the framing was based on data that compared garbage truck drivers with hair stylists and that seemed very dishonest to me, especially when there's such a great marxist framing that could have been used instead.
That's true, women are paid less on average than men. I was just surprised that they compared such completely different jobs in order to get to that 75% for every dollar figure in that study. I had assumed they were the same jobs from the way the results of the data was framed. I thought it was interesting that the data was framed in that way, and thought maybe they did that because they know capitalism will never be able to resolve the difference in pay between a hair stylist and a garbage man so why shine a light on something that goes against their class interests.
