The reality of our country. We must do better for our daughters and granddaughters.

Forbes has compiled gender pay gap data and sliced and diced it by industry, location, ethnicity, age, and education level. No matter how you slice the numbers, men almost always come out ahead of women financially. The gender pay gap affects women’s earning potential and long-term economic stability, leading to significantly lower income in retirement compared to men.

Check out the report to see which industries and states have the lowest and highest gender pay gaps, how race and ethnicity are linked to even greater wage disparities, and how the gender pay gap actually widens for women with higher education: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/gender-pay-gap-statistics/
