"For equal work" is a lie. The wage gap is the average earnings of men and women across ALL fields. Women on average enter less playing fields, get less paying degress, often drop out of the workforce earlier than men, are generally more interested in a stable family life than moving up, etc. Discrimination plays a zero or near-zero role in it.

To be fair jobs and those countries are the basis of much of what Trump has been talking about.

His answer just demolished Clintons though.

BOOO pre-planned zingers.

Terrible delivery.

This accounts for ~20 cents of the wage gap, but I don't think I've ever seen an analysis that gets that effect to the total income disparity.

Overstating the research. Best you can say is discrimination plays a "difficult to quantify" role in it. "For equal work" is harder to study than you might think, and the research is consequently mixed, but it's not an outright lie, just a disputed claim.

Surprisingly, Trump is bigger on policy specifics than Hillary so far.

Did I hear that right, did Trump mentioned receiving a "small loan" and turning it around to make billions? Lol. "A small loan of a million dollars."
