Women in usability earn 90% of what men earn

Glass Ceiling in Usability? (Paul Sherman) “The data suggest that yes, Virginia, there is a gender differential in our field. The silver lining (if it can be called that) is that the disparity seems to be less than the average (as measured in the US by the Census Bureau and the BLS), and less than the disparity in other professional occupations.”
Outstanding work by Paul Sherman and Lyle Kantrovich!

I’m not sure if this just applies to Usability profession. I’ve read some articles where women’s salary tend to be lower in other professions too..why?..not sure.
My wife who is healthcare, though her salary is in par with men, feels women have more responsibility towards their family and tend to give less time in their compared to men.
