A lot can change in two decades. Or… not.

In 2022, US women on average earned about 82 cents for every dollar a man earned, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of median hourly earnings of both full- and part-time workers. That’s a big leap from the 65 cents that women were earning in 1982. But it has barely moved from the 80 cents they were earning in 2002. “Higher education, a shift to higher-paying occupations and more labor market experience have helped women narrow the gender pay gap since 1982,” the Pew analysis noted.

“To some extent, the gender wage gap varies by race and ethnicity because of differences in education, experience, occupation and other factors that drive the gender wage gap for women overall,” the Pew analysis noted. “But researchers have uncovered new evidence of hiring discrimination against various racial and ethnic groups, along with discrimination against other groups, such as LGBTQ and disabled workers,” the report continued.

We love single women buying all that ice cream and cat food. Salute!

fake news not true. I am a male not making more like all of you.

Men deserve it

If women would work the hours men worked they would be equal

I know we like simplicity but is two numbers its meaning less. I want total population by job fields and this doesn't need to man vs woman break it down for both sex.

🤦‍♀️

Show this to South African girls

Surely they can just identify as a man and be done with it?

Selling victimhood, Lenin sold victimhood.

Force women to do traditional male jobs and force men to do traditional female jobs. What could possibly go wrong?

Only in United state you will be hearing all this abnormal news, the pay gap is mostly lifestyle choices gap or maybe child care. I haven't seen people doing the same Job & same hours being paid differently.

1. 65 is higher than 59 so...idk why they're making it sound like signle women across the board are making less 2. Why 2019? Is that the most recent there is?

Except on Only Fans. There the single woman is rocking the pole and cashing in.

If women wanted equal pay they should have taken jobs as engineers, doctors, or account managers instead of jobs as female engineers, female doctors, or female account managers.

What’s the difference between a straight and Trans men and women?

The Woman of the Year was a man, which tells me that women just aren't quite there yet...at least that's how the current administration sees it.

How about stop encouraging single motherhood?

There is no pay gap doofs

Lol

That’s racist!!😂

Pls raise your voice against fascism in pakistan FascistPDM

Make all equal in everything. Communism at its best.

How about men pretending to be women on cnn?

The pay gap is mostly a child care or lifestyle choices gap. There isn’t an epidemic of people doing the same job & same hours being paid differently.

Single women with children most likely stay home you dufus!

Then work more...like men.

Haha. Garbage!

I wonder how that plays out with the GDP and federal dependence. I guess some folks figured out reality with the secession talk.

To help with the gap just join a job with a union..everyone gets paid the same by seniority ahh unions the backbone of America

Let's divide people into groups and pit them against each other for the millionth time, that might get ratings-CNN

👏👏👏👏

We're still pushing this thoroughly debunked nonsense?

Can you cite a single study that says equal work != equal pay? Or are we just going to go off of sample means? In which case, why do women work less?

What is a woman CNN?

The pay gap is another selective lie by libs

So I've noticed. Seems all the 'ladies' on TV make a ton more cheddar than yours truly. I want my reparations.

Because women work less than men. Quit the drama.

CNN always brings on the whiners not the heros

Having financial stability and a life of investment is one of a lifetime ♥️,it's mind blowing how I earn amazingly from CRYPTO TRADING with Morris_Huxley,with $500 I earn $3850 in days of trade 💯that keeps me speaking about his company,contact Morris_Huxley to trade 💯 legit

What’s a woman…

Where is the underlying data that shows the comparison of length of tenure and skill sets. Apples to Apples at all levels is what is needed.

Women spending is also through the roof. More consumers than earners. But let's complain about everything.

Fake news by the leader of fake news. Complete frauds at CNN

Wrong. Work harder women. Work better paying jobs, not just comfortable jobs. Work longer hours.

People still fall for this

Stop lying and misrepresenting facts. Men in general work longer hours take less vacations and work higher risk jobs which is where the higher pay comes from

Gender is not the key to measuring things.

This is literally a conspiracy theory.

Women should just become men.

this equal pay thing is just silly and can't be implemented because men and women are different their output is different plus women ask for equal pay but don't want to do the same amount of work they are always victims

Even women with penises?

Im a single male and make less than both of those numbers 😂

outsized? outside?

Are you selling your Pi Well am buying Dm For rates ✅

Merit is a stubborn thing.

So the implicit curriculum of what is saying is that there are only two genders. 🤡

yup, have seen a lot of women saying they cant find a man that makes more than they do

There's no such thing. If the average woman is a secretary and the average man is a doctor/lawyer/etc then there's a gap but it has fuck all to do with penis or vagina.

You’re damn right a lot can change in two decades. What are we up to now, 39 genders? Between which ones is CNN Business dutifully tracking the wage gap?

That's because it's not a real thing.

Because gender is just a social construct 🤷‍♂️

Which genders?

Only women can have babies. I’m just delivering the message, don’t be angry with me.

Lol, there is no gender pay Gap when you are actually comparing apples to apples.

So now you are comfortable with separating by gender ?!? 🤔

Hmmmmmmmm

When will the agenda end. Men make more because women take time off to birth children, end of story. And yes that’s a precious and wonderful thing.

Of course the hosts knew it was all nonsense. They play their audience as fools and laugh at them behind their backs. The corporation will have to write a huge check from this lawsuit This is very serious. If I understand this story very well, the 3 Amingos-conspiracy theory-in-chief, Tucker, Hannity, and Ingraham are in real trouble because their boss just flicked on them.
