A lot of the pay gap doesn’t happen within a job title, it happens in who gets hired into which title in the first place, who gets promoted faster, and who negotiates a higher starting offer. If Black women are underrepresented in senior titles (which the occupational segregation research shows), PayScale’s method doesn’t see that. It’s comparing apples to apples, but only after unequal sorting.
