For some States, it varies widely. For instance, in Alabama the female to male earnings ratio is .75. In laymen terms, that means women earn on average 75 cents for every $1.00 men earn. That makes the gender pay gap 25 cents. Bet you can't name the State with the smallest pay gap. It's Vermont. Women earn 93 cents for every $1.00 men earn. That makes the gap 7 cents. It's not zero, but I'll take 7 cents over 25 every day of the week and twice on Sundays. 2024-08-2811 minZap The Gender Pay GapZap The Gender Pay GapThe Why Behind Pay TransparencyEver wonder why the big to-do pay transparency? According to Payscale, the intent behind pay transparency legislation is to close the gender pay gap by forcing organizations to openly advertise pay ranges and thereby enforce pay equity.
