Wadena, MN gender pay gap statistics

In Wadena, the population consists of 2,069 males (48.31%) and 2,214 females (51.69%), a breakdown further detailed in Wadena population by gender.

With a gender ratio of 93.5:100 i.e. 93.5 men to 100 women (0.935), Wadena 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 Wadena, 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 Wadena, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $27,788 for males and $26,302 for females.

    Based on these incomes, we observe a gender gap percentage of approximately 5%, indicating a significant disparity between the median incomes of males and females in Wadena. Women, regardless of work hours, still earn 95 cents to each dollar earned by men, highlighting an ongoing gender-based wage gap.

  • Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Wadena, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $54,509, while females earned $37,446, leading to a 31% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 69 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 Wadena offers better opportunities for women in non-full-time positions.

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

To provide a more comprehensive understanding of income distribution, we have grouped the original income brackets into five broader categories for analysis purposes: Under $24,999, $25,000 to $49,999, $50,000 to $74,999, $75,000 to $99,999, and above $100,000. 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 Wadena population.

The analysis unveiled the following key findings:

  • Annual income under $24,999: Of the male population working full-time, 3.06% fell within the income range of under $24,999, while 20.83% of the female population working full-time was represented in the same income bracket. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 73.37% of males and 72.03% of females were found within this income range.

    In total, among the population aged 15 years and older with income, across all employment categories, the analysis revealed that 48.94% of the entire male population and 51.75% of the entire female population fell within the income bracket of under $24,999.

    A higher percentage of females compared to males falling within the under $24,999 income bucket suggests a potential disparity, indicating a greater concentration of women in this lower income range.

  • Annual income between $25,000 and $49,999: 45.71% of males in full-time employment were within the $25,000 to $49,999 income range, while 57.05% of females in full-time roles were represented in this income bracket. Moreover, among other employment categories, 15.98% of males and 22.40% of females fell into this income range.

    Considering the population aged 15 years and older with income across all employments, 26.31% of the total male population and 36.13% of the total female population were encompassed within this income bracket.

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

  • Annual income between $50,000 and $74,999: 20.61% of men in full-time employment fell within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket, while 19.55% of women in full-time positions were also within this income range. Furthermore, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 8.70% of men and 1.68% of women were situated within this specific income bracket.

    Overall, considering the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 12.84% of the total male population and 8.76% of the total female population were found within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket.

    The higher proportion of males compared to females in the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket suggests a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater prevalence of men within this middle-income range.

  • Annual income between $75,000 and $99,999: 11.02% of men in full-time roles occupied the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket, while 2.56% of women in full-time positions shared this income range. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 1.96% of men and 3.58% of women were situated within this specific income bracket.

    In total, among the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 5.11% of the total male population and 3.17% of the total female population fell within the $75,000 to $99,999 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: 19.59% of men in full-time roles earned incomes exceeding $100,000, while none of women in full-time positions earned within this income bracket. Additionally, among those in alternative non-full-time employment, none of men and 0.32% of women earned within this income bracket.

    In total, across the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 6.81% of the total male population and 0.19% of the total female population earned incomes above $100,000.

    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.
