Well, first off, I'd take any floating statistic with a grain of salt. The thing about science is that you can spin it any way you want. E.g., without seeing the source study for that particular fact, we don't know if it's "women of these ages earn 8% more
but the study was done in a particular field or region". The precision of words used when reporting science needs to border on philosophical pedantry, but often doesn't.
That said, I can't imagine anybody earning money while attending post secondary education, but that's a personal anecdote.
