Oracle allegedly paid some female employees more than $13,000 less per year, on average,

revealed Friday as part of a gender bias lawsuit against the company. The analysis
was performed by economist David Neumark, a professor at UC Irvine, who claims the
likelihood of such a disparity occurring by chance is less than one in 1 billion.
