Tim, I wonder if you would be able ... without revealing anything of a confidential nature ... to give us what you might consider to be a typical sort of a situation that you are referring to with your male/female salaries ... that is:

1. at a typical site ... how many males and females in a given job category (that you would be comparing)... there might be (for example, is there usually about the same number for both groups or ... radically different numbers?)

2. some indication of the range of salaries for both groups ...

3. some indication (I assume that you know or have a pretty good idea) of the rough mean difference you might see between males and females

Again, I am certainly not interested in having you reveal anything that might be of a confidential nature but ... since we have been having all these posts ... which seem to resolve nothing really ... I think that if you could give us a little better feel for the typical sort of data you are talking about ... it might make the task from THIS end a bit easier to comment on.

PS ... you could of course, take one site ... do a t test ... tell us what kind of result you get ... and then let us comment on how likely that information might be of interpretable value.

Thanks
