Today is International Equal Pay Day, and despite long-standing efforts to achieve pay equality in the workplace, a new survey from job platform Monster proves there is still a long way to go.
The vast majority (85%) of those surveyed said they have experienced wage inequality, with gender being the largest factor at 41%, followed by age, race and education level. Data from Pew Research shows the gender pay gap has remained steady over the past two decades, with women earning 80% as much as men in 2002, compared to 82% in 2022.
