The Gender Wage Gap: 2011

The Gender Wage Gap: 2011. by Ariane Hegewisch, Angela Edwards (September 2012). Institute for Women’s Policy Research

  • “The ratio of women’s and men’s median annual earnings was 77.0 for full-time/year-round workers in 2011, essentially unchanged from 77.4 in 2010. (This means the gender wage gap for full-time/year-round workers is now 23 percent.) During the last decade the wage gap narrowed by less than half of one percentage point. In the previous decade, between 1991 and 2000, it closed by almost four, and in the decade prior to that, 1981 and 1990, by over ten percentage points.”
