Mind you, we are talking about those that get promoted within the corporate world, not those who have founded their companies.

These stats appear to be 10 years old and actually are created to show the difference between women and men, but they are broken down by race so you can clearly see that minoity women have a larger wage gap than their white counterparts. The more recent stats I have seen indicate much the same trend, albeit a slight reduction in the gap over all and notably among entry level women ( < 25 year of age) are starting to earn as much or more than their male counterparts in some cases. This means that in 50 years, you might see things be equal in the job market, between men and women at least.
