The gender earnings gap is an oft-discussed topic, as it should be. The new College Scorecard website from the US Department of Education offers average male and female earnings by school at six and ten years after enrollment (i.e., shortly after graduation, and after four to six years of work experience). I’ve plotted the change in the gap by subtracting the average female salary from the average male salary for some of the top-tier schools in four categories: medical institutions, private universities, private liberal arts colleges, and public institutions. As you can see, the gap always starts out smaller, but grows as men are promoted and given raises more readily. Out of all the schools, the only ‘negative gap’ – where women had a higher average than men – was six years after enrollment at Haverford.Data source: https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/ -- source link
