Families depend on women’s wages more than ever, but women working full time, year round are typically paid less than men working full time, year round. Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander  women working full time, year round typically make only 67 cents for every dollar white, non-Hispanic men make. The full-time, year-round wage gap for Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander women varies by state. 

However, the wage gap for full-time, year-round workers doesn’t fully reflect the economic disparities faced by Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander women. When part-time and part-year workers are included in the comparison, Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander women were typically paid only 59 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men in 2024. This disparity varies by state.
