Half of the gender wage gap is due to women working in different occupations and sectors than men. Improving women’s access to good middle-skill jobs can help close the wage gap and improve women’s economic security. The Pathways to Equity Initiative shows job changes that can improve women’s economic standing and meet employers’ demands for skilled workers.
Women are the minority of workers in growing middle-skill jobs that pay at least $35,000 per year (which typically don’t require a bachelor’s degree). Employers are looking for more workers to fill vacancies in these good jobs. Many women work in similar, but lower-paid jobs that can be on-ramps to these target jobs in key growth sectors.
