Introduction

Chances are when you hear “0.77 cents on the dollar,” an increasingly contentious subject — the gender pay gap — comes to mind.  Today, we will explore a US Bureau of Labor Statistics dataset containing information about America’s workforce (as of Jan. 2015) to answer the following questions:

• Which industries are most and least affected?
• Is the gender wage gap the same across all industries?
• How much does an average American salary vary by gender?

To answer these questions, we’ll be importing the dataset mentioned above (available on Kaggle) into an Arctype SQLite database, where we’ll use queries and dashboards to manipulate and interpret the data.
