Despite progress in some areas, the gender wage gap remains largely unchanged, with women earning 83 cents for every dollar men make in 2024. The gap is wider for women of color and working mothers.
Indeed’s recent analysis of job postings shows mixed progress in closing this gap. While more employers are including salary details in job listings — helping to create a level playing field — remote work opportunities have dropped over 20% from their pandemic peak.Â
Remote work has been crucial for women balancing career and caregiving duties, and this decline could set back efforts to address the gender wage gap, according to Forbes.Â
Family leave policies also play a key role in helping women remain in the workforce, but these benefits are still rarely mentioned in job postings. However, salary transparency is on the rise, with 60% of U.S. job postings now including salary information, a significant increase from just 18% in 2020.
While the gender pay gap remains stubbornly wide, efforts such as salary transparency and family leave benefits are crucial in making progress.Â
Nonetheless, with the rollback of remote work options and other key policies, achieving true pay equity will require more commitment from employers and policymakers.
