Breaking Down the Gender Wage Gap

Women who worked full-time earned just 82 cents for every dollar earned by men in 2020. Women also earned less than men in almost all of the 350 occupations tracked by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. More women work in lower-paid industries than men, and even women in higher-paying fields tend to have fewer years of experience, as they are more likely to take time out of the workforce to care for children or elders. Although illegal, gender discrimination may play a role in some work environments.
