The Gender Paycheck Gap Still Growing?

MyPerfectResume says all kinds of things have changed for women in the workplace in the last 25 years. Median income in the last quarter century has gone up, doubling from $493 per week in 2000 to $1,089 in 2025.

In 2000, women made 77 cents for every dollar earned by men. That figure in 2025 hit 82 cents. The yearly earnings gap, however, grew from $7,696 in 2000 to $12,324 last year.

That’s a jump of over 60%.

Progress — the report notes — has been uneven. The gap continues to impact the economic advancement, long-term financial security, retirement savings and the accumulation of wealth for women.

MyPerfectResume says a number of things continue to contribute to the gap. Not enough representation in higher-paying jobs and industries, the need to be caregivers to children, or aging parents and interruptions in the career path like child birth.
