A recent report by Glassdoor helps shed some light on the matter.

Based on more than 534,000 salary reports shared on the job review site, Glassdoor found that women earn on average $0.95 cents for every dollar men earn when you take into account a person's age, education, years of job experience, job title, employer, and location.
