Amazon reveals surprising gender pay gap

Amazon has revealed its gender pay gap, with surprising results.

Often noted for questionable treatment of workers, the company has revealed they do not have a gender pay gap – stating that their female and male workers are paid basically the same across the board.

Amazon, which estimates that women made up 39% of its global workforce and 24% of managers as of July, said a review of compensation including both base pay and stock compensation found that women earned 99.9cents for every dollar that men earned in the same jobs.

The survey, which was conducted by an external labour economist, covered Amazon workers at various levels of the company's organisation in the US, according to Reuters.
