About this dataset

Context

The dataset presents median income data over a decade or more for males and females categorized by Total, Full-Time Year-Round (FT), and Part-Time (PT) employment in Holland. It showcases annual income, providing insights into gender-specific income distributions and the disparities between full-time and part-time work. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into gender-based pay disparity trends and explore the variations in income for male and female individuals.

Key observations: Insights from 2023

Based on our analysis ACS 2019-2023 5-Year Estimates, we present the following observations: - All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Holland, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $57,083 for males and $12,315 for females.

These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in Holland. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 22 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 78%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the city of Holland.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Holland, for full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, while the Census reported a median income of $56,979 for males, while data for females was unavailable due to an insufficient number of sample observations.

As there was no available median income data for females, conducting a comprehensive assessment of gender-based pay disparity in Holland was not feasible.
