Here’s How Much Less Women Make In Hawaii
We’re doing better than Louisiana and Wyoming but not as good as Florida and Nevada.
The Huffington Post has this item on how much less women make than men in each state. Excerpt:
If you’re a woman looking for equal pay for equal work, then you might want to steer clear of Louisiana and Wyoming.
Those are two of the U.S. states with the biggest pay gaps between men and women, as seen in a new map from Expert Market, a site that helps businesses find equipment and services — though women’s pay lags significantly in every state.
To make the map, Expert Market used data from a Fall 2014 report, “The Simple Truth about the Gender Pay Gap”, by the American Association of University Women. The report used pay data from the Census Bureau, the Department of Education, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics to determine which states had the greatest gender pay gap.
Women in all states make $10,291 less per year than men, on average, according to Expert Market. …
Hawaii is 12th best in the rankings — just behind California but ahead of Maine.
Of course, we should not be satisfied that women here make $8,070 less than their male counterparts.
