Say Hello to Full Employment

I'm just going to point out that status-chasing is controlled for in what he described. The .95 cents on the dollar figure appears when you compare populations of men and women in similar roles with similar performance. You're confusing wage gap 1 (pay for performance) with gap 2 (seniority/glass ceiling).

Saying you need to control for things that have already been controlled for doesn't leave a particularly good impression.

I assume you're refering to the CONSAD reserach study which found a gap of between 95 to 93 cents on the dollar. That study did not in fact control for status chasing - nor did it compare men and women in similar roles with similar performance, they also found that the wage gap was not statistically significant enough to warrant corrective action

Yes it did. It controlled for hours worked and industry. That is, it controlled for men working harder and choosing higher paying jobs.
