46% of American men think the gender pay gap is 'made up to serve a political purpose' via CNBCMakeIt
Data from the U.S. Census Bureau demonstrates that women earn, on average, 81 cents for every dollar a man makes.
Men were not only more likely to doubt the issue's existence, but were also more skeptical of media reports, with 21 percent saying such coverage was"fake" vs. 12 percent of women. More women believed unconscious bias, sexism, and a lack of women in leadership positions was to blame.Part of this disbelief in the pay gap, and in media reports of it, may stem from confusion over how the gender wage gap is presented and discussed.
But when Glassdoor compared workers of similar age, education and experience, the adjusted gap shrank slightly, to 19.1 percent. And when it refined that comparison further to include only workers who also had the same job title and similar employers and locations, the gap fell to 4.9 percent. The issue is also considered by some to be a partisan one"made up for political reasons" because Democrats have traditionally been more aggressive in pushing governments bills aimed at fixing the gender wage gap.
But Americans were generally divided on exactly what steps they wanted new legislation passed by the government to take.
