Solution

The statement that is true about the effects of gender on class stratification is: "The median income for women is about 80 percent of the median income for men." This is a well-documented statistic that highlights the gender wage gap, where women typically earn less than men.

The other statements are not universally true. While there have been improvements in gender equality, it is not accurate to say that women are more likely than men to work in upper-middle-class jobs. Similarly, while women have made gains in many areas, it is an overstatement to say that women across all classes have gained tremendously in the past decade. Lastly, even when women have the same level of education as men, they often do not have jobs that pay as well, due to various factors such as discrimination and occupational segregation.
