Interesting article on slate. The study is linked through the slate article and I've been reading it and so far it seems to be reasonably sound.

I read that yesterday.

Interesting, but I think things like that leave a lot up to chance.

Another interesting tidbit I found while reading the actual study. Studies have found that being a teenage mother affects the wage gap less than being a 20something mother.
