It's true that women overall earn about 76 cents for every dollar men earn, Glassdoor's research confirmed. But there's a catch with that statistic ...
It's not an apples-to-apples comparison. When controlling for factors like age, education, years of experience, job title, employer and location, (aka calculating "adjusted pay"), women still earn less, but it's about 5% less, or about 95 cents for every dollar men earn.
