I'd like to challenge Silicon Valley companies in particular to release data proving they are not contributing to this problem. You can break down data by experience or seniority level if that explains discrepencies, but I would like to make this a call to action for companies to prove their stance on equality for women. The resulting list will be compiled so that people concerned about these issues will make informed decisions when selecting what companies to work at.
So women who are classified as "Software Developers" on average make 86 cents for every dollar their male peers make, and women classified as "Programmers" on average make 93 cents on every dollar their male peers make.
This is a call to employers who employ programmers or software developers to publish statistics showing they do pay men and women equally. It is a great opportunity to show your company as a good, honest place to work.
