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 Stoneham town. 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 Stoneham town, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $32,878 for males and $19,816 for females.

    These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in Stoneham town. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 60 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 40%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the town of Stoneham town.

  • Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Stoneham town, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $65,530, while females earned $52,694, leading to a 20% gender pay gap among full-time workers. This illustrates that women earn 80 cents for each dollar earned by men in full-time roles. This analysis indicates a widening gender pay gap, showing a substantial income disparity where women, despite working full-time, face a more significant wage discrepancy compared to men in the same roles.

    Surprisingly, the gender pay gap percentage was higher across all roles, including non-full-time employment, for women compared to men. This suggests that full-time employment offers a more equitable income scenario for women compared to other employment patterns in Stoneham town.
