LIES about gender pay gap in cif Guardian article

[aubergineinautumn]

here

is where Gaby Hinsliff is saying that young women are getting paid more than men

here

is the report she is quoting which clearly shows that in median full time pay in 22-29 age group men earn 17% more than women.

Can she not blooody read!!

Median hourly earnings excluding overtime are different from full-time gross: as far as I could see, the second table backs up what she is saying.

Probably me being thick, but where is the 17% you mentioned?

[aubergineinautumn]

in the 22-29 age group men's median full time gross weekly earnings are £413 whereas women's are £398, that is a 17% gap

what is the point in creating a figure which excludes overtime? It is fabricated and doesn't represent actual take home pay.

[ElderberrySyrup]

surely that's a 3.6% gap?

Aubergine,
Possibly because you're comparing apples and oranges. They are working more hours.

And you resurrected a 4 year old zombie thread to post that?

Okkkkk
