In "" PayScale reported that the pay gap widens as women progress in their careers. In an uncontrolled group of executives, women made $0.70 to every dollar made by men.
PayScale attributed this, in part, to the opportunity gap, explained as the tendency for women to climb the corporate ladder more slowly than men. In theory, if women accelerate their pace of upward mobility, they'll decrease their deficit in potential lifetime earnings.
