The US has made substantial progress in closing the historical earnings gap between men and women, but data from the American Community Survey (ACS) shows that from 2015 to 2022 full-time working women in the US earned 84 cents for every dollar a man made. In Hawai‘i, full-time women fared slightly better, making 86 cents for every dollar earned by a man, though the gap was still substantial. This report uses data from the ACS to take a deeper look into Hawai‘i’s gender pay gap to further understand the role of gender in the workforce.
