>Did I miss something?

Yes. The image doesn't show the opposite information as the text. As the text explains, the average of all men's wages increases more than the average of all women's wages. The average of all men and all women's wages is not how you show there is a wage gap. The average of all women work fewer hours than the average of all men, and have less experience.

The graph shows that for individual positions within a single profession, men make more than women. The PayScale page I linked to also shows the same thing.

The text of your link says that "the gender wage gap disappears for most positions". How is that not the opposite of the graph and the data?

The answer is still "account for hours work and years experience" no matter how many times you ask.
