15 jobs where men out-earn women the most
Many Americans still don't believe that women are, more often than not, paid less than men for doing the same job.
A recent report by Glassdoor helps shed some light on the matter.
Based on more than 534,000 salary reports shared on the job review site, Glassdoor found that women earn on average $0.95 cents for every dollar men earn when you take into account a person's age, education, years of job experience, job title, employer, and location. That's an adjusted gender pay gap of 5.4%.
Overall, when comparing all men to all women, Glassdoor found women earn 24.1% less than what men earn, or $0.76 on the dollar. That number is similar to what the US Census Bureau reports, which is that women in the US working full-time, year-round are paid $0.79 for every dollar paid to men.
The gender pay gap varies widely based on occupation, reaching as much as 28.3% — or $0.72 on a man's dollar — for computer programmers. Here are the 15 jobs where we see the largest gap in pay between men and women:
