Families depend on women’s wages more than ever, but in every state in the U.S., women working full time, year round are still typically paid less than men working full time, year round.

Nationally, in 2024, women of all races working full time, year round typically were paid only 81 cents for every dollar paid to men of all races, and the size of the disparity varies by state. Women overall fare best in New York and Vermont, where women working full time, year-round typically make 91 cents for every dollar men make.  Women fare worst relative to men in Louisiana where women are paid only 73 cents for every dollar paid to men, respectively.

However, the wage gap for full-time, year-round workers doesn’t fully reflect the economic disparities faced by women. When part-time and part-year workers are included in the comparison, women were typically paid only 76 cents for every dollar paid to men in 2024.
