I heard a blurb on BSU Radio about wage inequality in Idaho. It was short, and I'm not sure I heard everything, but what I thought I heard was that women in Idaho generally get paid about 60% of what men get paid. Well, maybe, but I doubt that it's that simple. I believe that there are instances where women, everything else being equal, get paid less. ...But, I think the "women get paid less" meme is mostly inaccurate or at least overstated. These stats, or what I read and hear of them, almost never take into account differing circumstances. I believe that by and large women doing the same job, for the same length of time, with the same qualifications and experience, get paid the same as men/IdaBlue. More here

Question: Do you think there's wage inequality between men and women in Idaho and elsewhere in the Inland Northwest?
