Exactly, over 95% of the gap to hours worked, education including field of study, career choices and experience.

A good portion of the remaining 5% is likely explained by Jennifer Lawrence's comments regarding the wage gap. When it was leaked that Jennifer received less compensation than her male counterparts in American Hustle, she didn't blame men, she blamed herself. She notes her negotiation style was much weaker because as a female she has become socially conditioned to want to be "liked" and "not difficult." She accepted what she was offered and didn't negotiate in an effort to be "liked," while the men didn't care about being "liked" and negotiated effectively. She admits she probably would have received the same compensation if she had negotiated properly.
