Like teaching, I think of nursing as still being pretty female dominated. I also imagine there's a whole tier of practically invisible, much lower paying jobs, but I dunno how true that is.....when was the last (or first?) time you've ever seen a man working hotel housecleaning, or in a nail salon, for example?

As for the significance of the raw numbers, if most women with the same amount of experience are making 98% of their male colleagues, but the raw wage gap is still at 76% doesn't that suggest that for every single woman making 98% of her male colleague's wages there is another woman making 50% less than the average man (or that the number of women with comparable positions & experience is so low that it has made practically no dent in the raw numbers)?
