Hi all,
Thanks for your podcasts. In 306 you discussed the wage gap. You didn’t mention the quite interesting additional info that doesn’t fit the dominant narrative http://content.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,2015274,00.html .
The stats are from the usa, I understand that in England the same stats show up. From what I remember in risk situations the women in these studies earned still the same as men on average in much less risky jobs.
I’d love to know what you guys think of it.
