Across the U.S., the majority of women earn less than men. But 25 cities actually defy that trend.
In Inglewood, California, for example, women make $1.20 for every dollar their male counterpart earns according to a new analysis of full-time median income by the finance website NerdWallet. That’s a much better arrangement for women than one finds the U.S. as a whole, where typically women earn roughly 79 cents for every dollar a man makes, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In Inglewood, women out-earn men by the most significant margin, according to a recent study. What stands out about the list of cities below is that the majority of them are relatively poor communities. Most of those 22 cities have a median income that’s below the national median income of $29,031.
