ABA Journal – “Median pay for full-time female lawyers was 77.4 percent of the pay earned by their male counterparts, according to data for 2014 released earlier this month by the U.S. Census Bureau. In all law-related jobs, median pay for female workers in 2014 was 51.6 percent of the pay received by male workers, according to the data. The pay gap is large for all legal occupations because women in the law are more likely to be paralegals and support workers than men, and pay in those areas is lower, Census Bureau spokesperson John Barker tells the ABA Journal. The salary figures are for full-time, year- round workers; part-time workers aren’t included in the statistics.”
