According to earnings surveys, what percentage of male earnings do women typically earn in the same occupational group?

In earnings surveys, it is commonly found that women earn approximately 60% to 70% of what their male counterparts make within the same occupational group. This statistic reflects persistent gender wage disparities that exist across various sectors and occupations.

Numerous studies have illustrated that even when men and women hold equivalent positions and possess similar qualifications, the average earnings still demonstrate a gap. This gap can be influenced by several factors, including but not limited to discrimination, occupational segregation, and differences in experience or hours worked. However, the overarching trend is that women continue to earn a lesser percentage of male earnings in equivalent roles, which aligns with the data supporting the percentage typically cited in these surveys.

Other ranges provided do not accurately reflect the more established findings from a comprehensive analysis of gender earnings—either suggesting a too narrow or inaccurately low range that does not capture the broader trend indicated by the evidence.
