&gt; Cornell professors Francine Blau and Lawrence Kahn found that women were paid 79 cents for each dollar a man was paid. Even after adjusting for type of job, industry, experience, location and education, the gap remained 92 cents for each dollar.<p>This is not supported by the evidence.  See, for example, this article by Christina Hoff Sommers (<a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;time.com&#x2F;3222543&#x2F;5-feminist-myths-that-will-not-die&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;time.com&#x2F;3222543&#x2F;5-feminist-myths-that-will-not-die&#x2F;</a>):<p>&quot;No matter how many times this wage gap claim is decisively refuted by economists, it always comes back. The bottom line: the 23-cent gender pay gap is simply the difference between the average earnings of all men and women working full-time. It does not account for differences in occupations, positions, education, job tenure or hours worked per week. When such relevant factors are considered, the wage gap narrows to the point of vanishing.&quot;
