San Jose Spotlight highlights a recent report from TruckInfo.net, which compiled U.S. Census data nationwide comparing the median incomes of men and women.

Ann Skeet, senior director of leadership ethics at Santa Clara University Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, said the report shows the gender pay gap exists, even in female-dominated industries like registered nursing, where women are paid 90 cents to every dollar men earn.

“It tells us that it persists even in those job functions that are predominantly held by females,” Skeet told San José Spotlight.
