Statistics show men still are paid more than women
Starbucks joins Employers for Pay Equity Consortium
As a young woman in the working world, I pay close attention to new media and statistics regarding the gender pay gap. In most cases, men still are earning more money than women and recent statistics reflect that trend.
According to the Pew Research Center, in 2018, women earned 85 percent of what men earned, based on the firm’s analysis of median hourly earnings of both full- and part-time workers in the United States, it said in a March news release. Based on this estimate, women would need to work an extra 39 days to earn what men did in 2018, it adds.
