Women's median weekly earnings were lower than men's median weekly earnings in all industries in 2009. The industry with the largest gender pay gap was financial activities. Median weekly earnings of women employed in financial activities were 70.5% of men's median weekly earnings in that industry. Construction was the industry with the smallest gender pay gap, with women earning 92.2% of what men earned. According to a pay scale study, in 2020, when comparing job title, years of experience, industry location, and other compensation factors, women make $0.98 for every $1.00 a man makes. Over a 40-year career, this would equate to lost earnings of $80,000.
