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.
30.6 Million – The number of women in the U.S. workforce with a bachelor’s degree or higher in the second quarter of 2021, compared with 29.8 million men. Women surpassed men to become the majority of college-educated workers in 2018 and increasing educational attainment by women has helped narrow the gender wage gap.
