Exactly! A big part of the problem is that women aren't promoted as often and much of the work they're expected to do (admin tasks, coordination that falls outside the scope of their official title) isn't accounted for in estimates of their work hours. Thanks for pointing out this important reason that there's a gender-based pay gap in so many occupations.

I'm reasonably certain that that is not what azth was attempting to communicate. Is there a particular reason you are commenting in this manner?

I was under the impression that they were pointing out the mechanisms responsible for the evident pay gap. What do you think they were attempting to communicate?

I believe azth was attempting to communicate that as processed and presented, this visualization can serve only to mislead. That it does not offer an accurate - and thus useful - amount of insight because it fails to account for a number of factors known to be significant.
