Although the gender pay gap has narrowed over time, the divide between what women and men make still continues to persist. According to the Census Bureau, women earned 82 cents for every dollar a man made in 2019. And the pay gap differs in different occupations.
For instance, a full-time, year-round female management analyst who was at least 16 years old in 2019 typically made $80,978. That is 84.8% of the $95,439 median earnings of a male management analyst. Female retail salespersons made 72.7% of the median earnings of men, where male earnings were $41,131 and female earnings were $29,896.
There are some jobs where women made more than men. Insider looked at 2019 one-year American Community Survey data from the Census Bureau to identify those occupations where this is the case. The above slideshow includes the detailed occupations with the largest ratios of median female to median male pay among full-time, year-round workers who were at least 16 years old.
We excluded catch-all occupations or those without a specific title from the 565 occupations available. This includes "healthcare diagnosing or treating practitioners, all other" and "other textile, apparel, and furnishings workers", although both of these groups showed women made more than men in 2019.
