>For example, a person in a nontechnical role may be at the same job level as an engineer, but will be paid significantly less because “there is a premium paid in all markets for highly technical talent.”

Different people doing different jobs get paid different. Not sure how this is news.

Personally I'm kind of burned out on the topic.

If someone wants to propose a method of leveling the field similar to blind orchestra auditions more power to them and I'll interview however you like, but that's not what these articles are about.

These sorts of articles tend to stop short of providing any recommendations and instead focus on the workplace gender equivalent of white guilt.

I upvoted because this is one of the best, even-handed articles on the "pay gap" that I've seen, but I don't have high hopes for the discussion.
