insight• Among younger full-time, year-round workers,

the percentage of women with bachelor’s degrees is greater than the comparable percentage for men. men (see Figure 1). Yet, despite these ongoing gains in educational attainment, women’s median earnings relative to men’s have made no appreciable gains since the early 2000s (Walt et al. 2011).

insight• Figure 4 illustrates a clear pattern linking the

earnings ratio and the level of earnings (the decile). As women earn greater salaries, they tend to have less pay equity with men. This pattern was exacerbated during the economic downturn, with pay equity rising appreciably across the bottom three deciles, while pay equity for those with higher earnings remained much flatter.
