Women generally do not receive lower pay for doing precisely the same work as men. Rather, regardless of their skills, women have disproportionately high representation in jobs traditionally paying lower wages. If Jobs paid according to the skills and education required by them, this de facto segregation would not exist.
If the statements above are true, which of the following is most likely to be true?
(A) Some jobs performed by more men than women pay higher wages than jobs requiring comparable skills, but performed by more women than men.
(B) Regardless of sex or occupation, a person should be paid an amount sufficient to support his or her household.
(C) As men enter a field, earnings tend to rise, not only for men but also for the women in the field.
(D) Little percentage gain has occurred in the number of women holding jobs traditionally held by men.
(E) Generally accepted methods are available for evaluating the level of skill required in, and hence the appropriate pay for, any job traditionally held by women.

(A) Some jobs performed by more men than women pay higher wages than jobs requiring comparable skills, but performed by more women than men. Correct answer. This is justified by the statement: "...regardless of their skills, women have disproportionately high representation in jobs traditionally paying lower wages".
(B) Regardless of sex or occupation, a person should be paid an amount sufficient to support his or her household. There is nothing in the passage that pertains to "support his or her household". Eliminate.
(C) As men enter a field, earnings tend to rise, not only for men but also for the women in the field. This implies that men in all jobs have a higher pay, which is not supported by the information in the passage.
(D) Little percentage gain has occurred in the number of women holding jobs traditionally held by men. The conclusion does not address any change in the imbalance of wages between men and women. Eliminate.
(E) Generally accepted methods are available for evaluating the level of skill required in, and hence the appropriate pay for, any job traditionally held by women. We do not know anything about how the incomes are distributed among the women. Eliminate.
Hope this helps.

If the statements above are true, which of the following is most likely to be true?
(A) Some jobs performed by more men than women pay higher wages than jobs requiring comparable skills, but performed by more women than men. I have no clue what this actually means, so i kept it.
(B) Regardless of sex or occupation, a person should be paid an amount sufficient to support his or her household. Supporting household is irrelevant.
(C) As men enter a field, earnings tend to rise, not only for men but also for the women in the field. Raise growth is irrelevant.
(D) Little percentage gain has occurred in the number of women holding jobs traditionally held by men. Nothing in the stimulus alludes to this.
(E) Generally accepted methods are available for evaluating the level of skill required in, and hence the appropriate pay for, any job traditionally held by women. Nothing is mentioned about available methods.
