Thomas Sowell on why male and female doctors earn differently and what the data ACTUALLY showsAdded:
Well, yeah, if you making comparisons, again, you have to have you can't compare apples and oranges. Uh when I was doing the research for that particular chapter, I remember being amazed that there was a large difference in income between young male physicians and young female physicians.
Uh until I dug into the data and discovered that young male physicians work more than 500 hours a year more than young female physicians. If you work 500 extra hours, chances are you'll get paid more.
And if you as you go through many of the other differences, you find all kinds of explanations of that sort. All right.
