The Persistent Gender Gap in Income and Earnings Posted on Sep 25, 2014 | Comments 0

The U.S. Census Bureau has released its annual report on income and poverty in the United States. According to data in the report, the median income for women who worked full-time, all year-round in 2013 was $39,157. For men who worked full-time, all year-round the median income was $50,033. Thus, women earned 78 cents for every dollar earned by men.

The gender gap in income is wider for families. In 2013, the median income for married-couple families in the United States was $76,509. For single-parent families where a man was the head of the household, the median income was $50,625. For single-parent families where a woman was the head of the household, the median income was $35,154.
