Mimi Von Boom: Antithetical Heroin/e

There are 425 major job categories, and “personal care and service worker” is the only one where women’s median salary exceeds men’s. On the other end of the spectrum, the jobs with the largest pay gaps include insurance agents, managers, clerks, securities sales agents and personal advisers. Bloomberg points out that advanced degrees don’t even the playing field: A female doctor makes 63 cents to the male dollar, and a female chief executive makes 74 cents to that dollar.
