Small doubt
Although women's wages are improving, Department of Labour statistics show that the ratio of earnings
with that of men have been roughly static since 1960.
- with that of men have been
- to that of men are
- to those of men have been
- with those of men is
- to those of men has been
Ratio with does not exist correct? It must be ratio to. And as the subject is singular a plural verb tense is incorrect.
Am I missing anything in my reasoning?

"ratio" is singular... So, ignore A,B,C
Ratio of X to Y is correct usage..
Also, in the non-underlined part we use "since 1960", so we need to use Perfect Tense.
So, ignore D
