Gender Wage Gap
The gender wage gap indicator compares the median earnings between male and female workers in Champaign County.
Two worker populations are analyzed: all workers, including part-time and seasonal workers and those that were not employed for the full survey year; and full-time, year-round workers. The gender wage gap is included because it blends economics and equity, and illustrates that a major economic talking point on the national level is just as relevant at the local scale.
For all four populations (male full-time, year-round workers; female full-time, year-round workers; all male workers; and all female workers), the estimated median earnings were higher in 2024 than in 2005. The greatest increase in a population’s estimated median earnings between 2005 and 2024 was for male full-time, year-round workers; the smallest increase between 2005 and 2024 was for all male workers. In both categories (all and full-time, year-round), the estimated median annual earnings for male workers was consistently higher than for female workers.
The gender gap between the two estimates in 2024 was larger for full-time, year-round workers than all workers. For full-time, year-round workers, the difference was $14,718; for all workers, it was $6,182.
The Associated Press wrote this article in October 2024 about how Census Bureau data shows that in 2023 in the United States, the gender wage gap between men and women working full-time widened year-over-year for the first time in 20 years.
Income data was sourced from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 1-Year Estimates, which are released annually.
As with any datasets that are estimates rather than exact counts, it is important to take into account the margins of error (listed in the column beside each figure) when drawing conclusions from the data.
