  1. Another criticism of this study relates to the “10 years after enrollment” time frame. Perhaps some women, age 27-29, may voluntarily reduce their employment to part-time, to facilitate child raising while continuing their career. It’s just my speculation, but that may tend to skew the women’s income data points towards the left.

    A more valid study might look at earnings five years after college enrollment, and twenty years after college enrollment. Perhaps these data were collected but suppressed for obvious reasons.

    Yet another more valid study would investigate gender pay differential, if any, for undertaking the same position, or by college major of study.

    To all those who play the GenderPayGap card, let’s see these other graphics please. If the data are already out there, then simply show us.
