First of all, it is accurate. However, usually when we look at the wage differences between genders, we standardize for the type of occupation, among other things, that men and women hold. In these charts, we haven't done that exercise. Part of the gender difference is still related to the fact that young women are in high-paying occupations to a lesser extent than men, and that plays a part. If you were to standardize for that, the gender differences would certainly narrow. That's one factor.
