I Heart New York
Tuesday, April 14, 2015
Obviously because I'm a fan of hotdog carts and FRIENDS. But in recent news, it's also been announced that New York is the ONLY state in America where men do not out earn women.
Yes, you hear me correctly. One state in the whole country. The average wage that women make in the other states is 72-89 cents to every male 1$ earned. In New York, women make slightly more than men at an average of $1.02 to every male 1$ earned. These statistics are also among millenials (a person reaching young adulthood around the year 2000), which also include the fact that millenial women are more likely to have a college degree than millenial men.
Maybe one day there will be more states heading in the right direction, but progress is progress. Thank you New York State. You're beautiful, as always.
