In an attempt to get this thread back on topic, I'm curious about one thing. The article mentions that one of the possible explanations of the difference is b/c minority women are more likely to hold more than one job. If gains are truly being made, then why would the minority women have to take on these extra jobs? It almost leads me to believe that there's still a disparity in pay occurring here.
It'd be interesting to measure the differences on a more standardized scale, such as comparing the salary of white women vs. minority women vs. white men filling the same positions.
