pay equity
this page talks about the earnings discrepancy between men and women. but has no data against the three counterarguments it provides, which is what I was looking for.
the pdf report (released by the Department of Labor in 2004) linked by that page is perfect, though! among other things, it has a chart of women's earnings vs. men's, categorized by profession (p. 12).
thought on wording: "wage/salary discrepancy" vs. "earnings discrepancy" -- the second doesn't encompass sex distribution across different jobs, the first implies compairison between men and women in the same field... which is easier to talk about, because it eliminates a variable, where the second talks about two problems in one innocuous phrase. (heh)
