All that stuff you’ve been hearing about college grads falling behind, and student loans killing the middle class? Yeah, that shit’s for real.
Let’s all pay attention to the scale on that there Y-axis, as well. There is a $20,000 difference between men and women. Twenty. Thousand. Dollars.
Tell me we don’t need feminism and I’ll just keep showing you stuff like this.
Not only that, but the highest point on the women’s graph is still fucking lower than the lowest point on the men’s graph. Fuck the world.
Mhm. I clicked through to see the graph bigger so I could read the numbers; men went from 73k in 2000 to 59k in 2010 (about 81% of their best). Women went from 56k in 2003 to about 47k in both 2005 and 2010 (about 83% of their best). Women’s best is about 77% of men’s (there’s that 77% figure again), and women’s worst about 80% of men’s.
They don’t break it out over race, unfortunately.
Also women’s pay has basically been stagnant 2007-2010, so over that period, men made more even if you normalize to their minimum/2010 pay.
