The ratio of women’s and men’s median annual earnings was 78.3 percent for full-time/year-round workers in 2013.
A fact sheet by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) uses updated data released today by the U.S. Census Bureau to chart the gender earnings ratio since 1960 and analyzes changes in earnings during the last year by gender, race, and ethnicity.
