Even though women have made great strides, so many of them still hit a glass ceiling on payday.

According to some surprising research from the American Association of University Women, women earn just 80 percent of what men earn one year after they graduate from college. And that pay gap widens, falling to as little as 69 percent of what men make 10 years later.

According to the study, one factor that plays a significant role in the salary disparity is that women tend to study areas with lower salaries such as education, health and psychology whereas men dominate higher-paying fields like engineering, math and physical sciences.

Even so, men and women in the exact same fields still did not make equal pay. That’s even considering that in college women outperformed men academically and their grade point averages were higher in every college major.

I have to admit that I was surprised to hear the results of the study. This gender disparity obviously isn’t fair. I do my best, at least at the Trump Organization, to make sure it doesn’t happen here and hope that other businesses will do the same.

Talented people are talented people, no matter what.
