Female Managers Earn 30 Percent Less Than Male Counterparts

The gender gap is wider among managers than in the rest of the American workforce.

The typical female manager makes 29.9 percent less than her male counterpart, according to an On Numbers analysis of new data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. On Numbers is a numbers-driven blog operated by Bizjournals.com, a sister website of the Baltimore Business Journal.

The 7.35 million women in the management, business and financial operations category earned a median of $961 per week during the second quarter of 2011. The 8.78 million men in the same classification drew median pay of $1,371 per week.

  3. It's been like that ever since I can remember. When I would ask for a raise a long time ago, I was told married guys got them first because they had a family they had to support.

    I don't know about hating each other but the practice is sexist. I wonder how many guys would like to have a woman boss?

    I'm a guy btw.

    I just know you're not that dumb to believe that, you're just trying to stir things up.

  7. dont blame the company, usually its the demeanor of women who "dont want to start stuff" and will accept less because of that. this is a similar scenario to the chicken/egg deal.
