AP News Wire Bias in Wage Reporting

The_Beedle writes "The Associated Press ran a report last Friday on the gender wage gap in which they claim that women earn less than men for the same work. Once again the crucial factor in earnings, the number of years an individual has been performing their job, is left out.

For comments AP spoke exclusively to women. They mention education, but fail to mention that women now receive more degrees than men. And for the finale the economist they quote equates single-parenthood with motherhood and argues that employers should be forced to pay more for less productive workers."
