Every semester I ask the students in a Principles of Econ course "do women in the U.S. earn 82 cents for the same work for which a man is paid $1?" Always the majority of students, if not all the students, answer "yes." I then distribute an essay by the U.S.'s greatest scholar, Thomas Sowell, who debunked this myth long ago. It is a sad commentary on widespread economic illiteracy that people cannot understand the wage gap is mostly, if not entirely, a myth.
