Really? I thought there was some glass ceiling thing. Well, some people think there is - I think it women earning less may have a bit to do with working less hours and maternity leave.

And so there is such a ceiling. If you're apt to hearken to feminists.

What the stats dictate is that, on average, men here earn 20% more then women. What they don't take account of (especially throughout the annals of feminist doctrine lulz) is that, on average, men work longer hours, and take less sickness and annual holiday leave than do women. Men are also more likely to work in the higher paid and more hazardous occupations than women, who almost exclusively dominate the service sector (which pays less). Certainly, these inconsistencies are a product only of clever and incomplete statistical bias.

And whatever any lingering inequality, they're manifest only in the private sector (which is notably less subject to oversight). Local government occupations (for all intents and purposes, female dominated) reflect no such disparity.
