In fact, the BLS analysis uses a baseline of 35 hours a week as a 'Full-Time' job, however, most of us are accustomed to working 40+ hours a week. Which is why when actual economists look at the data, they come up with a much, much different interpretation of the data than the pseudo-scientists out there: http://www.consad.com/content/reports/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20Final%20Report.pdf
