The earnings ratio and the pay gap for 2013 are calculated using these formulas: What Is the Pay Gap? Earnings ratio = women’s median earnings men’s median earnings Pay gap = [men’s median earnings – women’s median earnings] men’s median earnings = 78% = 22%

Women are more likely than men to leave the workforce or to work part time when they have young children. Choices can account for some of the differences in salaries, but they aren’t the whole story. What about Choices?
