For Some, The Gender Pay Gap Is Far Greater Than '79 Cents To The Dollar'
- 6 years ago
Gender pay gap numbers are both depressing and difficult to interpret.
For example, the popular "79 cents to the dollar" adage doesn't count women of color.
What's more, the gap often varies based on location.
Female paperhangers make 58.7% as much as male paperhangers.
Female financial clerks make 56.3% as much as male financial clerks.
And female hazardous materials removal workers make 55.0% as much as men.
