Heather's going to ship me more numbers next week for NYC, but here are the national numbers. Men with bachelor's make 81% above their gender average; women, 55%. Note that women with master's make only a bit more than men with associate's; women with some college, no degree, make less than men who didn't make it to 9th grade.
