While there's much to celebrate on International Women's Day, women are still lagging behind men when it comes to wages - especially in the US.
We sorted through 2015 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which compares the median weekly earnings of men and women across several hundred professions in the US, to find the jobs where women out-earn men.
It turns out there are only five.
Here, we've highlighted the median weekly earnings (before tax), from the BLS, as well as the median annual earnings (determined by multiplying weekly earnings by 52).
We also calculated the earnings ratio, which is the ratio of female to male median earnings expressed as a percentage. In 2015, among full-time workers, women were paid 81% as much as men - median weekly earnings were $726 per week for women, compared to $895 per week for men. These are the only five jobs where the earnings ratio is greater than 100%:
