Key observations: Insights from 2021

Based on our analysis ACS 2017-2021 5-Year Estimates, we present the following observations:

• All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Girard, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $35,503 for males and $25,845 for females.

  These income figures indicate a substantial gender-based pay disparity, showcasing a gap of approximately 27% between the median incomes of males and females in Girard. With women, regardless of work hours, earning 73 cents to each dollar earned by men, this income disparity reveals a concerning trend toward wage inequality that demands attention in thecity of Girard.

• Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Girard, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $49,202, while females earned $50,105

  Surprisingly, within the subset of full-time workers, women earn a higher income than men, earning 1.02 dollars for every dollar earned by men. This suggests that within full-time roles, womens median incomes significantly surpass mens, contrary to broader workforce trends.
