Not exactly. The way that statistic is compiled is taking the average full time income for all males and the average full time income for women. Going right to the middle and coming up with a figure.

It does not take into account. Experience, education level, hours worked per week, overtime, job experience and how many consecutive years you've been in the workforce.

And the best resource of all on this issue is of course Dr. Warren Farrell's book released last year entitled "Why Men Earn More: The Startling Truth Behind the Pay Gap -- and What Women Can Do About It"
