Women and Men in technology earn the same amount of money in their first
five years of work. These results are from a recent survey by techies.com
of more than 100,000 employees in technology. Professionals in technical,
hands-on jobs experience the smallest salary gap. Overall, women in tech
jobs earn 92 cents to every dollar a man earns. The National Average shows
women earning 75 cents to every dollar a man makes. Great news for Women in
technology! The bad news is that as women climb the technology career
ladder the salary gap between men and women increases. Perhaps there is a
glass ceiling for techies too.
