That depends on how you do the numbers. in the past, employers did pay
women less for the same job, perhaps a few do. Most have come to the
21st century either because the are enlightened or fear of government
regulation. Most businesses now pay the same wage for a man and woman
working side by side doing the same job.

Why the difference? If you randomly take 10, 100, or 1000 men and the
same number of women, the man's wage will come out higher. The reason
is obvious if you look. Engineers. miners, doctors positions pay more
than bank tellers, nurses, and secretaries. More men still tend to go
to the first three professions while women tend to go to the last three.
As long as you use those statistics and women make the same choices,
they as a group will earn less.
