Gender Wage Gap [Interactive Graphic]

This 2010 data visualization from the NY Times is very useful for demonstrating the wage gap.

Clicking on each dot gives information about the differences between men and women in that field. I usually ask students to play around with this interactive before they come to class so that they have some basis for talking about the wage gap - but it is also very useful to use in class. Student love asking me to click on certain dots or suggesting certain fields to see the discrepancy.  The visual  helps them understand just how widespread the problem is.
