August 9th 2010 02:20
As reported on the Huffington Post, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics has released a new report on women's earnings which shows that the gender wage gap continues.
Women are still earning less than men, although the exact pay gap depends on age. At worst, the 35-44 year-old woman makes 73.6 percent of what her male counterpart earns, while a 20-24 year-old woman makes 92.9 percent. This could, in part, be due to the fact that there are more women (69 percent) in lower-paying industries like health and education, versus lucrative engineering and computing roles (9 percent).
The report also demonstrated that there are a handful of occupations, out of hundreds, where women actually made more than men.
