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 New Iberia. 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 2021

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

  • All workers, aged 15 years and older: In New Iberia, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $33,189 for males and $20,415 for females.

    These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in New Iberia. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 62 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 38%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the city of New Iberia.

  • Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In New Iberia, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $58,283, while females earned $39,907, leading to a 32% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 68 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 similar gender pay gap percentage. This indicates a consistent gender pay gap scenario across various employment types in New Iberia, showcasing a consistent income pattern irrespective of employment status.
