In some white collar professions, the gap is still huge: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/04/24/up...abt=0002&abg=0
Not only not equal in some professions - even in the White House I hear!

What is that $0.07 difference due to? Does anyone know for sure? Or could it be due to the fact that many women do not have the same length of service where they work in the same job as a man? Do the people who calculate that statistic even take into consideration the difference/likeness in length of service of the male/female salaries being measured?
