Women were significantly more likely than men to identify the gender pay gap as a 'serious problem,' with 78 percent of women agreeing with the sentiment compared with 59 percent of men.
As the U.S. marks Equal Pay Day, the date symbolizing how far into the year women must work to have earned what their male counterparts earned in the previous year alone, a new study has found pilots, chefs and C-suite professionals are among the hardest hit by the gender pay gap.
The study, which analyzed more than half a million Glassdoor salary reports for job titles, found the pay disparity between male and female pilots to be the highest among jobs listed on its site, with male pilots earning, on average, 26.6 percent more than their female counterparts.After pilots, the study found chefs to be the second most affected, with a gap of 24.6 percent.
The study, which analyzed more than half a million Glassdoor salary reports for job titles, found that while"the gender pay gap in the U.S. has narrowed slight over the last three years," when it conducted a similar study in 2016,"gaps remain and we're still decades away from reaching pay equality." Asked to who is responsible for closing the gender pay gap, half of polled employees said they believed those in senior leadership roles should be held accountable, while another 38 percent said it should be up to human resources managers and 30 percent said they believe the responsibility should fall on politicians' shoulders.
