In 2015, South Korea’s Samsung Electronics jolted the technology world with news that its chips were on par with the world’s most advanced.

This summer, the Chinese company Semiconductor Manufacturing International is drawing buzz in the same circles after word emerged that it, too, has made a big jump.

Broad new data on wages earned by college graduates who received federal student aid showed a pay gap emerging between men and women soon after they joined the workforce, even among those receiving the same degree from the same school.
