Women In Tech Actually Don't Get Paid Less Than Men

But despite all the bad jokes and lack of representation, there is some good news for women, too. Turns out that women in the tech field don't actually get paid less than men, according to Quartz.

A recent study by the American Association of University Women titled "Graduating to a Pay Gap: The Earnings of Women and Men One Year after College Graduation" examined data on approximately 15,000 graduates to estimate the effect of gender on wages, and discovered that there is no statistically significant different in earnings between male and female engineers.

Women who pursue a career in math, computer, and physical science professions also get paid the same amount as their male counterparts. These jobs - along with engineering - are also the best-paid jobs for women right out of college.
