Many of the claims about a wage gap are exaggerated, but it's not as simple as that video suggests, either.

WHY are professions that are usually predominantly female paid less than those seen as mainly male? There was a time when there was a separate females' pay scale for the same job, so it's not surprising that valuable, qualified jobs, such as nursing, had low pay compared to a male dominated field like construction, and in times of collective bargaining and decreased Union clout, that has never been redressed.
