Pay Gap Data Shows Women Falling Behind; AAUW Steps Up with Solutions
AAUW is disappointed to see the newly released U.S. Census Bureau data showing that the gender pay gap has widened for the second consecutive year. In 2024, all women working full-time, year-round were paid 81 cents, and all earners (including part-time and seasonal workers) were paid 76 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men. In annual income, women were paid $57,520, compared to $71,090 paid to non-Hispanic white men. This is not a minor fluctuation but a statistically significant setback that underscores a troubling trend: women working full time are falling further behind.
