Respondents by Level of
Education and Wage by Gender
A higher percentage of males than females have
a highest level of education of high school diploma/GED. However,
males tend to have higher wages than females for the same level
of education. In the high school diploma/GED category, 54.3 percent
of males earn $25,000 or more, while 17.3 percent of females in
this same category earn $25,000 or more.
Although 32.5 percent of females and 22.8 percent
of males have some college, males again have a higher percentage
of higher salary levels than females. (69.0 percent males and
24.5 percent females report a salary level of $25,001 or higher.)
Males and females have approximately equal percentages of respondents
who have a Two-year/Associate degree. Females show significantly
lower wages than males. Wages for females at this education level
are fairly evenly distributed although more males than females
earned wages of $25,001 or more.
At the bachelor degree level, wage comparisons
show less of a disparity between males and females at any particular
wage level. However, the percentage of males who earn $25,001
or more still exceed the percentage of females at the same educational
level. At the Masters degree or beyond educational level, females
have a higher percentage of higher wages than males (91.8 percent
of females earned $25,001 or more, 84.1 percent of males earned
$25,001 or more.)
