The lines are a little misleading, because it looks like a "range". And the visual weight is hugely below zero, so it appears to show that the wage gap is hugely negative.

Separating the "equivalized" numbers into their own chart would make clear that they dance pretty evenly around both sides of zero.

(Exactly how close to zero, we are evidently supposed to guess, as you mysteriously did not include the overall average!?)

That's what I assumed, but was more curious about the correction methodology.

Given the presumably high inverse correlation between hours worked and domestic hours worked, I'd assume that there's a risk of double-correction.

However it'd be awesome to see whether the impact of domestic hours worked has a bigger impact in certain job types over others, based on "uncounted working hours" which typically accompany higher paid roles.
