U.S. BUREAU OF LABOR STATISTICS D E C E M B E R 2 0 1 4 R E P O R T 1 0 5 1 Highlights of women's earnings in 2013 note that the comparisons of earnings in this report are on a broad level and do not control for many factors that can be significant in explaining earnings differences. See the accompanying technical notes section for more information, including a description of the source of the data and an explanation of the concepts and definitions used in this report. Earnings of full-time workers Below are data highlights for women and men who work full time, with sections focusing on characteristics such as age, race and ethnicity, education, occupation, and more. Age I n 2013, women who were full-time wage and salary workers had median usual weekly earnings of $706. On average in 2013, women made 82 percent of the median weekly earnings of male full-time wage and salary workers ($860). In 1979, the first year for which comparable earnings data are available, women earned 62 percent of what men earned. (See chart 1 and tables 1 and 12.) This report presents earnings data from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a national monthly survey of approximately 60,000 households conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Information on earnings is collected from onefourth of the CPS sample each month. It is important to Median weekly earnings were highest for women age 35 to 64 in 2013, with little difference in the earnings of 35- to 44-year-olds ($767), 45- to 54-year-olds ($761), and 55- to 64-year-olds ($779).

Young women and men age 16 to 24 had the lowest earnings ($423 and $479, respectively). (See table 1.) Among the four age groupings of those 35 years and older, women's earnings ranged from 74 percent to 80 percent of the earnings of their male counterparts. In the younger age groups, the earnings differences between women and men were smaller, with women earning 89 to 90 percent of what men earned. (See table 1.) Between 1979 and 2013, women's-to-men's earnings ratios rose for most age groups. Among 25- to 34-year-olds, for example, the ratio increased from 68 percent in 1979 to 89 percent in 2013, while the ratio for 45- to 54-year-olds increased from 57 percent to 77 percent. (See table 12.) Race and ethnicity Asian women and men earned more than their White, Black, and Hispanic or Latino counterparts in 2013. 2 Among women, Whites ($722) earned 88 percent as much as Asian women ($819), while Blacks ($606) and Hispanics ($541) earned 74 percent and 66 percent as much as their Asian counterparts, respectively. In comparison, White men ($884) earned 83 percent as much as Asian men ($1,059); Black men ($664) earned 63 percent as much; and Hispanic men ($594), 56 percent. (See chart 2 and table 1.) Earnings differences between women and men were the most pronounced for Asians and for Whites. Asian women earned 77 percent as much as Asian men in 2013, and White women earned 82 percent as much as their male counterparts. In comparison, Black and Hispanic women had median earnings that were 91 percent of those of their male counterparts. (See table 1.) When adjusted for inflation, women's earnings since 1979 have increased considerably across the major race and Hispanic ethnicity categories. Earnings growth has been greatest for White women, outpacing that of their Black BLS Reports December 2014 www.bls.gov HIGHLIGHTS OF WOMEN'S EARNINGS IN 2013 Chart 2 Median usual weekly earnings of women and men who are full-time wage and salary workers, by race and Hispanic or Latino ethnicity, 2013 annual averages Earnings (dollars) $1,200 Women $1,000 $884 $860 $800 $706 Men $1,059 $819 $722 $606 $600 $664 $541 $594 $400 $200 $0 Total White Black or African American Asian Hispanic or Latino ethnicity Note: People of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity may be of any race.any race. for the race groups shown Note: People of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity may be of Estimates Estimates for the race (White, Black or African American, and Asian) American, and Asian) include Hispanics. groups shown (White, Black or African include Hispanics.

Between 1979 and 2013, inflation-adjusted earnings (also called constant-dollar earnings) rose by 31 percent for White women, compared with an increase of 20 percent for Black women and 15 percent for Hispanic women. In contrast, inflationadjusted earnings for White and Black men declined slightly (1 percent and 2 percent, respectively) from 1979 to 2013, and Hispanic men's earnings fell by 9 percent. (See table 18.) Asians were not included in this analysis because comparable data for the group are not available until 2003. (See note in table 18.) Education Median weekly earnings vary significantly by level of educational attainment. Among all workers age 25 and older, the weekly earnings of those without a high school diploma ($472) were two-fifths of those with a bachelor's degree or higher ($1,194) in 2013. For workers with a high school diploma who had not attended college ($651), median earnings were a little more than half of those with a bachelor's degree or higher. Earnings for those with some college or an associate's degree ($748) were just under two-thirds of what workers with a bachelor's degree or more made. (See table 1.) At each level of education, women have fared better than men with respect to earnings growth. Although both women and men without a high school diploma have experienced declines in inflation-adjusted earnings since 1979, the drop for women was much smaller than that for men: a 12-percent decrease for women as opposed to a 34-percent decline for men. On an inflation-adjusted basis, earnings for women with a bachelor's degree or higher have increased by 32 percent since 1979, while those of their male counterparts have risen by 18 percent. (Data pertain to workers age 25 and older.) (See chart 3 and table 19.)

Occupation Among both women and men, median weekly earnings for those working full time in management, business, and financial operations jobs were higher than in any other major occupational category in 2013 ($1,049 for women and $1,412 for men). Of women in management, business, and financial operations occupations, those who were chief executives and computer and information systems managers had the highest median weekly earnings ($1,811 and $1,549, respectively). Among men in this job group, chief executives and architectural and engineering managers had the highest earnings ($2,266 and $1,898, respectively). The second highest paying major occupational category for women and men was professional and related occupations ($944 for women and $1,295 for men). Among women in professional and related occupations, those who were pharmacists ($1,802) and lawyers ($1,566) had the highest earnings. For men in professional and related 4 occupations, those who were pharmacists ($2,092), physicians and surgeons ($2,087), and lawyers ($1,986) earned the most. (See table 2.) The occupational distributions of female and male fulltime workers differ considerably. Compared with men, relatively few women work in construction, production, or transportation occupations, and women are far more concentrated in office and administrative support jobs. (See table 2.) Women are more likely than men to work in professional and related occupations. In 2013, 29 percent of women worked in professional and related occupations, compared with 19 percent of men. Within this occupational category, though, the proportion of women employed in the higher paying job groups is much smaller than the proportion of men employed in them. In 2013, 9 percent of women in professional and related occupations were employed in the relatively high-paying computer and BLS Reports December 2014 www.bls.gov HIGHLIGHTS OF WOMEN'S EARNINGS IN 2013 Chart 4 Distribution of full-time wage and salary employment for women and men, by major occupational group, 2013 annual averages Percentage of total employment 35 Women Men 29.4 30 25 20 21.6 17.2 19.1 19.1 17.1 16.1 15.9 15 13.1 8.7 9.3 10 6.5 6.1 5 0.9 0 Management, business, and financial operations occupations Professional and related occupations Service occupations Sales and related occupations Natural resources, Production, Office and administrative construction, and transportation, and material maintenance support moving occupations occupations occupations Source: U.S. Bureau of Statistics.

Women in professional and related occupations were more likely to work in education and healthcare jobs, in which the pay is generally lower than that for computer and engineering jobs. Sixty-nine percent of women in professional occupations worked in education and healthcare jobs in 2013, compared with 30 percent of men. (See chart 4 and table 2.) Earnings among parents In 2013, a little more than one-third of full-time wage and salary workers were parents of children under age 18 (36 percent of women and 37 percent of men). Among women, median weekly earnings for mothers of children under age 18 ($701) were essentially the same as earnings for women without children under 18 ($708). Among men, earnings for fathers with children under 18 were $950, compared with $804 for men without children under 18. (See table 7.) State of residence Median weekly earnings and women's-to-men's earnings ratios vary by state of residence. (In this section, \"state\" refers to the 50 states and the District of Columbia.) The differences among the states reflect, in part, variation in the occupations and industries found in each state and differences in the demographic composition of each state's labor force. In general, the sampling error for the state estimates is considerably larger than it is for the national estimates; thus, comparisons of state estimates should be made with caution. In addition, it should be noted that while earnings are shown based on workers' state of residence, their reported earnings may or may not be from a job located in the same state. (See table 3.) Weekly work hours Among full-time workers (that is, those working at a job 35 hours or more per week), men are more likely than women BLS Reports December 2014 www.bls.gov\t5 HIGHLIGHTS OF WOMEN'S EARNINGS IN 2013 to have a longer workweek. Twenty-five percent of men worked 41 or more hours per week in 2013, compared with 14 percent of women who did so. Women were more likely than men to work 35 to 39 hours per week: 12 percent of women worked those hours in 2013, while 5 percent of men did. A large majority of both male and female full-time workers had a 40-hour workweek; among these workers, women earned 90 percent as much as men earned. (People who usually work 35 or more hours per week but whose hours vary were excluded from this analysis.) (See table 5.) workers were 16 to 24 years old, compared with 29 percent of female part-time workers. (See table 4.) Earnings of part-time workers Among workers who were paid hourly rates in 2013, 5 percent of women and 3 percent of men had hourly earnings at or below the prevailing federal minimum wage of $7.25. (See table 10.) Women are more likely than men to work part timethat is, less than 35 hours per week on a sole or principal job. Women who worked part time made up 26 percent of all female wage and salary workers in 2013. In contrast, 13 percent of men in wage and salary jobs worked part time. (See tables 4 and 5.) Women and men who worked part time had fairly similar median earnings. Median weekly earnings for female parttimers were $241 in 2013, slightly above the $230 median for their male counterparts. (See table 4.) Men who work part time tend to be younger than women who work part time. In 2013, 43 percent of male part-time 6 Earnings of workers paid by the hour Sixty-two percent of women and 56 percent of men employed in wage and salary jobs were paid by the hour in 2013. Women who were paid hourly rates had median hourly earnings of $12.12, which was 87 percent of the median for men paid by the hour ($14.00). (See tables 8 and 11.) Among both women and men, hourly paid workers age 16 to 19 were the most likely to have earnings at or below the minimum wage. Twenty percent of teenage workers who were paid hourly rates earned the prevailing federal minimum wage or less in 2013, compared with just 3 percent of hourly paid workers age 25 and older. Eight percent of workers age 20 to 24 had earnings at or below the minimum wage. (See table 10.) See the technical notes section for information about estimating the number of minimum wage workers.
