Makes a large difference to the association between gender and earnings - association is stronger using the annual earnings vs. hourly earnings. Women tend to work fewer hours of paid work, therefore men work more hours of paid work and end up with larger annual earnings. Income is not the same as earnings (includes the stock market, etc. ) Operational issues that is associated with something so self evident.
