Is the Wage Gap Closing?

The U.S. Census Bureau has made available statistics on women’s and men’s earnings for several decades. By examining this time series of data, it is possible to get a feel for the changes and trends in earnings. One thing revealed by a simple visual examination of the series since 1960 is how closely the shapes of the two lines parallel each other. The dips and bumps in women’s and men’s earnings seem to move in tandem. Clearly, similar economic and social forces are at work in influencing the rise and fall of earnings for both sexes. Men’s earnings do not stand still and wait for women’s to catch up.

هذا تعبير يستخدم عادة فى شرح سلوك الرسم البيانى او المنحنيات (احصاء )
الdipsهى الاوقات التى يكون فيها انخفاض فى المنحنى
والdumps هى التى يتقابل فيها المنحيين الخاص برواتب النساء والرجال معا ( يتقابلوا - او يكونوا عند نفس المستوى او يزيح احدهما الاخر )

هذا ما فهمته

والله اعلم

[محمد عبد الفتاح أحمد]

My understanding is that the two words "dips" and "bumps" are used figuratively here, and they are explained later by "rise" for "bumps" and "fall" for "dips".

So, may I whereby say that:

يبدو أن انخفاض الأجور وارتفاعها للنساء والرجال تتطرد على نحو متقارب

[منذر أبو هواش]

(dips and bumps)
الحفر والمطبات
النزلات والطلعات
