Salary doesn't always have anything to do with being educated. I live in a state where teachers are required to have master's degrees and then they're paid $48K a year. Different industries have different salaries. Women also make less than men for the same job. This has been well documented for many years.
Not when controlled for relevant individual factors.

"The controlled gender pay gap is $0.99 for every $1 men make, which is still not equal. The controlled pay gap tells us what women earn compared to men when all compensable factors are accounted for — such as job title, education, experience, industry, job level, and hours worked. Although $0.99 cents may seem very close to $1, small differences in earnings on the dollar can compound over the course of a lifetime career. The gender pay gap should be zero. It is not zero."

A mere 1% difference after accounting for most major, but not all minor factors, and is likely well within the margin of error. It didn't take into account that men are more likely to commute farther for more pay, more likely to leave their current job for more pay, more likely to ask for a raise, more likely to have long tenure with a single employer, etc.

Life isn't a control group. I know several women who have applied for the same jobs as men and been offered less money. When questioned, the women were blacklisted instead of increasing the salary to match. This happened to my sister who was more educated and more experience than the man who applied for the same job. The company had multiple openings for the same position. She knew all the details because one of her best friends got one of the openings. She was offered several thousand less than him. She questioned the difference in salary and her offer was withdrawn and she was blacklisted. Happens more often than people realize.
