The gender pay gap measures the difference in median hourly earnings between men and women who work full or part time in the United States.
And the 8-cent gap among workers ages 25 to 34 in 2022 was down from a 26-cent gap four decades earlier. The estimated 18-cent gender pay gap among all workers in 2022 was down from 35 cents in 1982. While the gender pay gap has not changed much in the last two decades, it has narrowed considerably when looking at the longer term, both among all workers ages 16 and older and among those ages 25 to 34. By comparison, the gender pay gap among workers of all ages that year was 18 cents. In 2022, women ages 25 to 34 earned an average of 92 cents for every dollar earned by a man in the same age group – an 8-cent gap. These results are similar to where the pay gap stood in 2002, when women earned 80% as much as men.Īs has long been the case, the wage gap is smaller for workers ages 25 to 34 than for all workers 16 and older. In 2022, women earned an average of 82% of what men earned, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of median hourly earnings of both full- and part-time workers. The gender gap in pay has remained relatively stable in the United States over the past 20 years or so.
