It would be nice to have the 9% increase for everybody.
No, I don't think it's the way we look at it. It's really dangerous to equate the wage gap with pay inequity, because really the wage gap is influenced by so many factors. The fact that women are much more educated now influences the wage gap. However, in New Brunswick we know that women are more educated than men, and still there is a wage gap. It's much more complex than just looking at one thing.
In all honesty, you could have a situation where you have no wage gap and still have pay inequity. For instance, if you go in a school and you have the same wages for the janitor and the schoolteacher, then you don't have a gap, but you do have a really serious pay inequity problem.
