Recent studies have found that in the US, women earn between 71 to 74 cents for every dollar earned by men. However, such findings often do not take into account a variety of other factors that alone or together may explain much of this gap between men's and women's salaries. The article examines the gender salary gap in the occupation of engineering, in which women held 10 percent of the jobs in 1995. Using multivariate regression analysis, the authors explored various potential explanations for the salary gap in this occupation. We found that the salary gap is primarily explained by the fact that female engineers, on average, are less experienced than males.
