Wage gap closing, but remains among men and women

September 26, 2002 By admin

The gap is closing between what men and women earn on the job, but it’s closing at a slow pace.The latest report based on U-S Census data finds Iowa women make about 73 cents for every dollar made by Iowa men. That’s about a nickel higher than a decade ago, but still about middle of the road compared to the nation as a whole. Hawaii has the smallest gap at 80-cents for women to the men’s dollar. The largest margin is in Wyoming at 63-cents to the dollar. Analysts say sexual discrimination may play a part in the gender salary gap, but it’s also due to occupational opportunities and career choices.
