pay gap
Salary difference, systematically
The pay gap is the difference in earnings between groups—typically between men and women doing comparable work.
The gender pay gap persists across industries and education levels: Women in that field earn 82 cents for every dollar men make.
Pay gaps also exist along racial lines.
The term implies systemic disparity rather than individual negotiation.
