Also, women are still learning less than men. Not really surprising.
Quote:
Women earn less than men, even when they work the same number of hours — a gap that persists across all levels of educational attainment. in fact, women with a Bachelor’s degree earn about as much as men with some college education but no degree. On average, to earn as much as men with a Bachelor’s degree, women must obtain a Doctoral degree.
More surprising to me was the minority gap among men.
Quote:
similar gaps also exist by race and ethnicity. african-americans and Latinos earn less than their White counterparts, even among the most highly-educated workers. african-americans and Latinos with master’s degrees don’t exceed the median lifetime earnings of Whites with Bachelor’s degrees. However, at the graduate degree level, Asians make more than all other races/ethnicities, including Whites.
Both the quotes are from the executive summary of the report found HERE.
