The dataset presents the detailed breakdown of the count of individuals within distinct income brackets, categorizing them by gender (men and women) and employment type - full-time (FT) and part-time (PT), offering valuable insights into the diverse income landscapes within United States. The dataset can be utilized to gain insights into gender-based income distribution within the United States population, aiding in data analysis and decision-making..

Key observations

• Employment patterns: Within United States, among individuals aged 15 years and older with income, there were 119.64 million men and 117.56 million women in the workforce. Among them, 66.07 million men were engaged in full-time, year-round employment, while 50.33 million women were in full-time, year-round roles.
• Annual income under $24,999: Of the male population working full-time, 7.45% fell within the income range of under $24,999, while 10.76% of the female population working full-time was represented in the same income bracket.
• Annual income above $100,000: 29.72% of men in full-time roles earned incomes exceeding $100,000, while 18.56% of women in full-time positions earned within this income bracket.

This EnviroAtlas dataset shows the employment rate, or the percent of the population aged 16-64 who have worked in the past 12 months. The employment rate is a measure of the percent of the working-age population who are employed. It is an indicator of the prevalence of unemployment, which is often used to assess labor market conditions by economists. It is a widely used metric to evaluate the sustainable development of communities (NRC, 2011, UNECE, 2009). This dataset is based on the American Community Survey 5-year data for 2008-2012. This dataset was produced by the US EPA to support research and online mapping activities related to EnviroAtlas.
