Accused of underpaying women, Google says it's too expensive to get wage data

Couldn't the government paint a pretty accurate picture using IRS data? Title and earnings via W-2 is at least a start.

That would require the Department of Labor to have that data. They don't have that data; the IRS has it, and they'd probably have to get a court to order the IRS to hand it over, and the court might well not do that.

Isn't that data what sparked the investigation in the first place?
