THE SIMPLE TRUTH ABOUT THE GENDER PAY GAP Presented by Nina Thayer, June 8, 2012

The pay gap is a comparison between men’s and women’s typical earnings, using either weekly or annual median earnings. The median value is the middle value, with equal numbers of full-time workers earning more and earning less. It is used to prevent especially high salaries from skewing the results. What Is the Pay Gap?

The earnings ratio and the pay gap for 2010 are calculated using these formulas: What Is the Pay Gap? Earnings Ratio = women’s median earnings men’s median earnings Pay Gap = men’s median earnings – women’s median earnings men’s median earnings = 77% = 23%

The Pay Gap Geographically Earnings Ratio for Rocky Mountain States in 2010 Nevada83% Arizona82% Colorado79% New Mexico79% Montana73% Utah69% Wyoming64%

The Pay Gap over Time Women’s Earnings as a Percentage of Men’s Earnings for Full-Time, Year-round Workers, 1970–2010

Men and women tend to choose different majors in college and to work in different occupations after college. Women tend to work fewer hours, even when they work full-time. Women are more likely to leave the workforce or to work part-time when they have young children. Choices can account for some of the differences in salaries, but they aren’t the whole story. What about Choices?
