Despite increased labor force participation and educational attainment, women continue to experience lower wages than their male counterparts. Here are the cities where that gap has shrunk the most.
Data on the gender wage gap, women’s median earnings, men’s median earnings, and the industries and occupations with the smallest and largest gender wage gaps come from the Census Bureau’s 2018 American Community Survey (ACS). The gender wage gap is defined as the ratio of full-time working women’s annual earnings to full-time working men’s annual earnings. Industries and occupations with the smallest and largest gender wage gaps are also identified using the ratio of full-time working women’s annual earnings to full-time working men’s annual earnings.
The average distance that Americans drive per year is on the rise. That's making city roads increasingly congested, prolonging commute times and adding to daily stress.
