With a gender ratio of 88.7:100 i.e. 88.7 men to 100 women (0.887), Martin County hosts fewer men than women. This demographic distribution sets the backdrop for our exploration into gender-based income disparities within the area.

Historically, addressing gender-based pay differences has been a pressing concern, prompting substantial efforts not only from government initiatives but also from advocacy groups, businesses, and social movements. To explore this further within the context of Martin County, our analysis will focus on examining the income data to understand the reality of gender-based pay differences.

Here are the key findings from our analysis:

  • All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Martin County, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $32,288 for males and $23,940 for females.

    These income figures indicate a substantial gender-based pay disparity, showcasing a gap of approximately 26% between the median incomes of males and females in Martin County. With women, regardless of work hours, earning 74 cents to each dollar earned by men, this income disparity reveals a concerning trend toward wage inequality that demands attention in thecounty of Martin County.

  • Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Martin County, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $45,658, while females earned $39,473, resulting in a 14% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 86 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 county of Martin County.

    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 Martin County.

To visualize the evolving trend, here is a line chart depicting the changes in gender-specific annual median incomes over time in Martin County, encompassing both full-time and all workers aged 15 years and older.

Martin County, NC gender and employment-based income distribution analysis (Ages 15+)

To gain insights into gender-based income distribution within the Martin County population, we conducted an analysis across 20 distinct brackets for males and females aged 15 years and over, covering both full-time year-round workers and other employment designations.

Within Martin County, among individuals aged 15 years and older with income, there were 7,654 men and 8,466 women in the workforce. Among them, 3,328 men were engaged in full-time, year-round employment, while 3,090 women were in full-time, year-round roles.

Analyzing the percentage of full-time, year-round workers to the total workforce reveals that among men, the proportion of full-time employment was 43.48%, whereas among women, the ratio was 36.50%. This indicates that a higher percentage of men were engaged in full-time, year-round roles compared to women.

The observed disparity may stem from various factors such as industry choices, societal expectations, or employment opportunities, revealing potential gender-based variations in employment trends within Martin County.

Parenthood, for instance, is one such factor influencing these trends. Women between 25 and 44 years old who are mothers are less inclined to participate in the workforce compared to women of the same age without children at home. Furthermore, when employed, these mothers often work fewer hours per week, adding to the observed disparities in full-time employment between genders.

This grouping allows for a more focused assessment of income disparities across distinct income ranges, offering clearer insights into gender-based income distributions within the Martin County population.

The analysis unveiled the following key findings:

    The higher representation of males compared to females in the $25,000 to $49,999 income bracket indicates a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater prevalence of men within this lower-middle income range.

  • Annual income between $50,000 and $74,999: 25.18% of men in full-time employment fell within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket, while 16.96% of women in full-time positions were also within this income range.

  • Annual income between $75,000 and $99,999: 7.06% of men in full-time roles occupied the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket, while 4.98% of women in full-time positions shared this income range. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 3.84% of men and 1.60% of women were situated within this specific income bracket.

    The elevated ratio of males to females in the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket hints at a potential inequality, underscoring a stronger predominance of men within this upper-middle income range.

  • Annual income above $100,000: 5.29% of men in full-time roles earned incomes exceeding $100,000, while 1.23% of women in full-time positions earned within this income bracket. Additionally, among those in alternative non-full-time employment, 3.31% of men and 1.25% of women earned within this income bracket.

    The increased proportion of males compared to females in the above $100,000 income bracket suggests a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater predominance of men in this higher income range.
