  4. Why women still make less than men? • Compensation differences appear to be tied to perceptions, availability and fields genders specialize into • Women are more represented in clerical and services occupations while men are concentrated in craft and laborer jobs • Men can travel easier than women due to family obligations • Men with children appear to get an earnings boost whereas women lose earnings (GAO Statistics) • Women on average have fewer years of work experience
