White House gender pay gap widens under Trump
- 7 years ago
The White House gender pay gap has expanded quite a bit since President Trump took office.
An analysis by economist Mark Perry of the American Enterprise Institute shows that the gap has tripled.
Data shows that the median salary of a woman in the White House is $72,650, compared to $115,000 for men.
The 37 percent gender pay gap in President Trump's White House is more than double the 17 percent gender pay gap nationally.
Further, the gender pay gap is up from 11 percent in the last year of the Obama White House.
Compared to Obama, Trump has rolled back many of his predecessor's fair pay regulations and has not made the issue a focal point of his presidency.
