WASHINGTON, DC–This just in from the the Institute for Women’s Policy Research: Women’s median earnings are lower than men’s in nearly all occupations. This is true whether they work in occupations predominantly done by women, occupations predominantly done by men, or occupations with a more even mix of genders. And, unfortunately, this is also true if you are a real estate broker or sales agent.

This is hardly news — according to data released by the US Census Bureau in September 2016, based on the median earnings of all full-time, year-round workers in 2015, women now make 79.6 cents for every dollar men make, a change from 78.6 cents the previous year. Women’s earnings in 2015 were $40,742, while men’s were $51,212. (Per the National Committee on Pay Equity).
