2058: The year American women might see equal pay


Danielle Paquette, The Washington Post 2:53 p.m. EDT March 20, 2015

WASHINGTON When it comes to equal pay, the American woman is stuck in a


proverbial waiting room. But the number on her ticket the length of her stay largely
depends on where she lives and to whom she was born.
A new report from the Institute for Womens Policy Research, released last week, predicts
U.S. women wont reach pay parity with men until 2058. And the wait could be much longer
for those in Wyoming and Louisiana, for example, where women on average make less
money than female peers in other states. Closing the gender wage gap is generations
away in Wyoming, the studys authors predict. The projected year: 2159. Louisiana ranks
second to last by a half-century (2106) and is followed by North Dakota (2104).
To reach these dismal conclusions, researchers crunched U.S. census data: How many
women in a given area were working? In management roles? In science, technology,
engineering or math fields? At what pay? Rates of progress, the researchers found, varied
drastically by state, race and educational attainment.
The unifying theme: Women across the country have a long way to go.
Jean Wolph and Deborah Gandenberger, Louisville Writing Project

2058: The year American women might see equal pay,


continued
The analysis isnt entirely bleak. As womens earnings have grown (while mens have stagnated), the
gender pay gap narrowed sharply in the 1980s and 90s. In 2013, women made 78.3 cents for every
dollar men earned, up from 60.2 cents in 1980.
During the past 3 decades, inflation-adjusted median earnings for womens full-time, year-round
work spiked nationally from $30,138 to $39,157. Mens earnings decreased slightly from $50,096 to
$50,033.
Since the early 2000s, though, progress toward wage equality has sputtered almost to a halt. Median
earnings for women have remained largely consistent. But female labor force participation declined
from 59.6 percent in 2002 to 57 percent in 2014, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Women also remain underrepresented in the highest-paying fields: engineering, technology and
medicine. Across industries, they hold far fewer upper-management positions. For example, only
16.9 percent of Fortune 500 board seats are female-occupied.
Parity appears closer for East Coast women. New York has the narrowest wage gap: Empire State
women earn 87.6 cents for every dollar banked by men. Maryland and the District of Columbia, trail
slightly with 87.4 and 87, respectively.
Jean Wolph and Deborah Gandenberger,

2058: The year American women might see equal pay,


continued
Less urbanized states show the starkest disparities. The gender earnings ratio in Louisiana
is 66.7, ranking dead last. Women in West Virginia (67.3) and Wyoming (67.9) dont fare
much better.
Florida women could reach equal pay first in 2038. California and Maryland are tied for
second (2042).
Womens earnings differ by race and ethnicity: Across the largest ethnic groups in the
United States, Asian Pacific Islander women earn the most annually at $46,000, making
88.5 cents for every dollar earned by men.
Native American and Hispanic women take home the least annual income at $31,000 and
$28,000, respectively. Hispanic women, though, face the widest wage gap of Americas
most prominent racial groups. The female-to-male ratio: 53.8 percent.
Women now outpace men in college enrollment. Those with a bachelors degree typically
earn twice as much as those with less than a high school diploma.
Jean Wolph and Deborah Gandenberger,

2058: The year American women might see equal pay,


continued
But across all levels of education, men earn significantly more than women with equal
schooling. The wage gap is the largest for those with the most educational attainment:
Women with graduate degrees make only 69.1 percent of what men with graduate degrees
earn. The share jumps to 71.4 percent for women with bachelors degrees. (Both groups take
on comparable amounts of debt.)
The reports conclusion: These data indicate that women need more educational
qualifications than men do to secure jobs that pay well, researchers wrote.
Millennial women face a narrower wage gap, earning 85.7 cents for every dollar earned by
male peers. More than 1 in 3 millennial women work in managerial or professional
occupations, compared with 1 in 4 millennial men. Its important to note that many female
workers of this generation have not yet hit their childbearing years. Mixing motherhood and
employment is an oft-cited driver of pay disparities.
The majority of senior citizens people older than 65 are women. Many work full time: 14
percent worked year-round in 2013, according to census data. But on average, they made
less than younger demographics, or women 16 to 65: $37,000 annually, compared with
$38,000 annually.

Stephanie Coontz | Women have come a long way, but


still have far to go
McClatchy-Tribune News Service; 12:14 a.m. EDT March 16,
2014 (Photo: hugh haynie)
OLYMPIA, Wash. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Civil
Rights Act, which initially outlawed discrimination on the basis of race,
color, religion, or national origin but not on the basis of gender. The
word sex was added to the act as a last-minute amendment by a
senator who opposed racial integration and may have hoped to thereby
kill the bill entirely. Even after the law passed, few people expected the
prohibition of gender discrimination to be enforced by the Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission, the group charged with
implementing the act.
Sure enough, the EEOC immediately outlawed race-segregated
employment ads, but refused to do the same for gender-segregated
ads. The head of the EEOC announced that the amendment banning
sex discrimination was a fluke, not to be taken seriously. The National
Organization for Women and other groups spent the next 20 years
struggling to get the anti-discrimination provisions of the act applied to
women.
Jean Wolph and Deborah Gandenberger, Louisville Writing Project

Continued | Women have come a long way, but


still have far to go
Not until 1973 did the Supreme Court rule that it was illegal to divide employment ads into Help
Wanted: Female and Help Wanted: Male. Only in 1974, a full decade after the Civil Rights Act
was enacted, did Congress outlaw discrimination in housing and credit on the basis of sex. Until
1981, many states still designated the husband as the legal head and master of the
household. And it took until 1984 for the court to compel previously all-male organizations such
as the Rotary and Lions clubs to admit women. (That same year, the state of Mississippi finally
ratified the 19th Amendment, granting women the vote.)
Despite this uphill battle, women have come a long way, according to a report issued last month
by the Council on Contemporary Families. In 1964, fewer than 3 percent of all attorneys and just
three of the countrys 422 federal judges were women. Today half of law graduates and a full
third of the Supreme Court justices are female. The number of female senators has increased
tenfold.
In 1980, not a single woman occupied a corner office in a Fortune 100 company. According to
this months Harvard Business Review, women now hold nearly 18 percent of the top jobs in
those companies.
More women than men graduate from college today, and unlike 40 years ago, the average
female college graduate now earns more than the average male high school graduate.

Continued | Women have come a long way, but


still have far to go
But were not there yet. At every educational level, women still earn less than men with
comparable credentials, even when they work the same number of hours a week in the same
kind of job. While women are now half of law school graduates and one-third of attorneys, they
are only 15 percent of equity partners and 5 percent of managing partners in law firms. And at
current hiring rates, it would take 278 years for men and women to fill equal numbers of CEO
slots.
Some women, having broken into exclusive careers, are still trying to crack the glass ceiling.
Many more women are still stuck in the basement, looking for an up escalator. Women
constitute 62 percent of all minimum-wage workers, and working-class jobs are as sexsegregated today as they were in 1964. In all racial groups and at every age, women are more
likely to live in poverty than men, although minority women are especially disadvantaged.
African-American women earn just 64 cents, and Hispanic women just 55 cents, for every dollar
earned by white, non-Hispanic men.
Many of these inequities still result from discrimination. While few Americans would now openly
claim that women are less capable than men, implicit bias tests consistently reveal that women
are perceived as less competent, decisive or assertive than men. Studies also show that
applications bearing female names are rated less qualified than identical applications bearing
male names.

Jean Wolph and Deborah Gandenberger, Louisville Writing Project

Continued | Women have come a long way, but


still have far to go
Additionally, wage rates reflect the historical legacy of gender segregation. Occupations
traditionally associated with women pay less than mens jobs even when they require the
same or greater levels of skill and stamina. In 2010, the people who cared for the grounds
surrounding our offices and homes (95 percent male) earned a median annual wage of
$23,400. Those who cared for our children (94 percent female) earned just $19,300.
In 2010, the median annual wage for light delivery drivers, 94 percent of whom are male,
was $27,500. Home health aides, 88 percent of whom are female, earned $7,000 less per
year, even though they have higher average levels of education than the delivery drivers,
do as much heavy lifting and spend more time on their feet. Among young childless
individuals working exactly the same hours, health aides still earn 13 percent less than
delivery drivers.
When couples have children, women fall even further behind, because policymakers have
not caught up with new family realities. Dual-earner families are now the norm, but work
policies are still designed for a labor force composed of full-time male workers with wives
at home to take care of family obligations. The lack of family-friendly work policies and
affordable quality child care, combined with mens higher wages, encourages many women
to cut back when work conflicts with family obligations.

Continued | Women have come a long way, but


still have far to go
But this reinforces gender inequality over the long run. On average, when a woman leaves the
workforce for a year to care for a child, she loses almost 20 percent of her lifetime earnings power. If
she spends three to four years away, this reduces her potential lifetime earnings by a full 40 percent.
Mothers who do not quit work are also penalized. Studies show that employers are less likely to hire or
promote mothers than childless women (or fathers) on the assumption that they are less committed to
work.
So the bad news is that we have a way to go to reach equality. But the good news is that we have come
far enough in the past 50 years that men now have as much of a stake as women in reaching that goal.
As late as 1977, two-thirds of Americans thought men should earn the money and women should stay
home with the family. Today, only 30 percent of Americans favor such arrangements. Almost two-thirds
now say it is best for husbands and wives to share paid work and family obligations. Ninety-seven
percent support equal rights.
Since 1965, husbands have doubled their share of housework and tripled their share of child care.
Interestingly, men now report higher levels of workfamily conflict than women, largely because of
these increased family commitments. But increasingly, men face the same discriminatory treatment as
women if they ask for work-family accommodation.
Jean Wolph and Deborah Gandenberger, Louisville Writing Project

Continued | Women have come a long way, but


still have far to go
If we paid women the same wages as men for comparable work, that would halve the
poverty rate in American families. It would also raise the standard of living for males in twoearner working- and middle-class households. And if the United States adopted jobprotected, subsidized family leave, as more than 180 other countries in the world already
have done, men, women and children would all benefit. Pay equity, comparable worth
policies and family-friendly work reforms are not just womens issues any more. They are
our next civil rights challenge perhaps our next human rights challenge.
