Although 93% of nurses in US are women, the 7% male nurses out-earn them by an average of $5,148 annually.
People could be on Mars before the gender wage gap closes.
“At the current rate, the wage gap won’t be closed until 2058. Not only that, but five states are on track to take until next century to close theirs.“ - http://dendroica.tumblr.com/post...

My aunt and uncle are both nurses. At one point, they worked in the same dept. My aunt has 7+ years exp. She started in that dept. in 1993. He came on in 1997 and made $8K more than she did. After he got his Master's degree the next year, it went up even higher. Even though she was 2nd in seniority with more education than him, he still outearned her. Their running joke was, "Imagine what we'd make if we were white!".
