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 Boston. 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 Boston, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $55,048 for males and $42,450 for females.

These income figures indicate a substantial gender-based pay disparity, showcasing a gap of approximately 23% between the median incomes of males and females in Boston. With women, regardless of work hours, earning 77 cents to each dollar earned by men, this income disparity reveals a concerning trend toward wage inequality that demands attention in thecity of Boston.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Boston, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $86,749, while females earned $77,084, resulting in a 11% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 89 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time positions. While this gap shows a trend where women are inching closer to wage parity with men, it also exhibits a noticeable income difference for women working full-time in the city of Boston.

Interestingly, when analyzing income across all roles, including non-full-time employment, the gender pay gap percentage was higher for women compared to men. It appears that full-time employment presents a more favorable income scenario for women compared to other employment patterns in Boston.

These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in New Boston. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 59 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 41%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the city of New Boston.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In New Boston, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $53,830, while females earned $39,744, leading to a 26% gender pay gap among full-time workers.
