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 Chicago. 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 Chicago, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $47,896 for males and $37,163 for females.

These income figures indicate a substantial gender-based pay disparity, showcasing a gap of approximately 22% between the median incomes of males and females in Chicago. With women, regardless of work hours, earning 78 cents to each dollar earned by men, this income disparity reveals a concerning trend toward wage inequality that demands attention in thecity of Chicago.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Chicago, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $71,930, while females earned $64,421, resulting in a 10% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 90 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 Chicago.

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 Chicago.

Key observations: Insights from 2022

Based on our analysis ACS 2022 1-Year Estimates, we present the following observations: - All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Illinois, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $48,807 for males and $32,877 for females.

These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in Illinois. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 67 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 33%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the state of Illinois.

- Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Illinois, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $67,800, while females earned $54,544, leading to a 20% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 80 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time roles. This analysis indicates a widening gender pay gap, showing a substantial income disparity where women, despite working full-time, face a more significant wage discrepancy compared to men in the same roles.

Surprisingly, the gender pay gap percentage was higher across all roles, including non-full-time employment, for women compared to men. This suggests that full-time employment offers a more equitable income scenario for women compared to other employment patterns in Illinois.
