| Is The Wage Gap Actually Discrimination? |
 We've long believed that women earn less than men because women fail to negotiate.
Not so fast, new research says. Perhaps outright discrimination is at play, after all.
A study by the University of Wisconsin revealed women are 25% less likely than men to get a hike in pay when they asked for it. "We were expecting to find evidence for this old theory that women are less pushy than men," said co-author Andrew Oswald. "But the women and the men were equal" which can only mean one thing: "There is discrimination against women."
One bright spot: Researchers found that women under the age of 40 managed to negotiate as well as men for higher pay, which bodes well for reducing the gender pay gap.
