Looks like if this trend continues to grow we will be talking about the wage gap in a different context in the future.


No we'll move on to another "problem". We talked about the college gap while women were the minority. Now that they are more than 60% of enrollees no one cares.

It will be the same for wages.


Nah, people just switched from being upset about “the college gap” overall, and started driving “the college gap in certain specific degrees (that are tied to high wages, like CS)”.

I don’t think the same type of a thing would work for wages, as wages are fairly absolute. Your bank account doesn’t care which degree you had, it cares about the dollar number attached to it.


Actually I think majority of Americans are not in favor of the diversity programs and affirmative action. It’s detrimental to your career to speak up.

I suspect in the next decade progressives will fall out of favor as the masses get fed up.


If that ever happens the baby gap will be an exponentially larger problem we will have the deal with than a wage gap.
