Across the US, the average income for the top 2% of all earners is $206,000.

But among women in the top 2%, the average salary is $145,000, compared to $371,000 for men, according to an analysis of the 2015 American Community Survey by labor economics research firm Job Search Intelligence (JSI).

That means the average woman in the top 2% makes just 39 cents for every dollar a man makes. Overall, women earn an average of 79 cents for every dollar a man makes in the US, according to a 2016 report published by the Joint Economic Committee Democratic Staff.

While striking, the pay gap at the top isn't likely a matter of women being paid significantly less than their male counterparts, but rather that women are underrepresented at the highest levels of management.

In fact, in some states, so few women make it into the top 1% — which requires an average annual salary of $389,436 or more, based on calculations by the Economic Policy Institute — that, to protect anonymity, salary data is not reported by gender, according to JSI. That's why we're comparing earnings among the top 2%, instead of the more standard top 1% of earners.

Below, see the average income for the top earners in every US state — listed from the smallest gender wage gap to the largest — as well as the average income for women and men in the top 2% of all earners.

There are so many variables here that can shoot these numbers down like the Hindenburg.

This is no where near the Civil Rights issue of our time.

In fact harping in on shyt like this will destroy the Democrats forever.

Democrats spend too much time dividing people and attempting to control people's pockets more than anything else. It's getting annoying.

I wonder how many times they had to run these numbers to find that 2% gives the biggest difference.

I guess 2% or 1% wasn't telling enough.

#WOATSet predictability came in here arguing with numbers with their "theories."

:mjlol:


This is actually amazing considering jobs in the top 2% require little to no physical exertion and women as a whole are fairly well educated. It's almost like their lack of presence in these top paying positions is due to something else they all have in common, like being women. :ohhh:

This was a study. Nothing lazy about it.

This study also focused on the top 2% to remove most of the reasons idiots like you attempt to parrot out.

What do you perceive to be reason?
