About this dataset

Context

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 South Union township, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $48,305 for males and $34,167 for females.

These income figures indicate a substantial gender-based pay disparity, showcasing a gap of approximately 29% between the median incomes of males and females in South Union township. With women, regardless of work hours, earning 71 cents to each dollar earned by men, this income disparity reveals a concerning trend toward wage inequality that demands attention in thetownship of South Union township.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In South Union township, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $78,056, while females earned $53,000, leading to a 32% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 68 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time roles. This level of income gap emphasizes the urgency to address and rectify this ongoing disparity, where women, despite working full-time, face a more significant wage discrepancy compared to men in the same employment roles.

Remarkably, across all roles, including non-full-time employment, women displayed a lower gender pay gap percentage. This indicates that South Union township offers better opportunities for women in non-full-time positions.
