Who is bringing home the bacon?

both, men, and women. On average a woman's salary is 76 percent of male's across all industries. Both sexes are more evenly matched in industries such as construction (92%), which is stereotypically considered a "man's job." Men still make about 40 percent more than women in industries such as: finance and insurance, management of companies and enterprises, and health care. While the majority of occupations and industries are in a man's favor, in large cities like New York City, Dallas, and Los Angeles women might be the ones bringing home the bacon. In New York women are making twice as much as men in management of companies and enterprises; they are also excelling in real estate and wholesale trade. In Dallas, women transcend the wage gap in utilities, management of companies and enterprises, transportation and warehousing, education, real estate, and general management. On the West coast, in Los Angeles, women are taking the reins in education, entertainment, real estate, construction, and mining. According to sociologist, Andrew Hacker, many young women are heading for the city after they graduate from college. The pay increase could be because, “citified college-women are more likely to be nonmarried and childless, compared with their suburban sisters, so they can and do devote themselves to their careers.”]]>
