Example[edit]
If women are payed less on average, more women would be hired to save on cost. Narky Sawtooth (Nyar~) 11:07, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
- I'm removing this example because while the 77 cents on the dollar statistic doesn't factor a lot of things in, there's still a 3-4% difference when you take all those factors (flexible hours, years off for childbearing) into consideration. Thus not a counterfactual. — Unsigned, by: 138.51.113.90 / talk / contribs
