Topics: Work Culture

When you think of Equal Pay Day, do you automatically think about the gender pay gap? If so, you wouldn’t be alone. But there’s more to the story than women making 70-something cents to every dollar a man makes. In fact, the gender pay gap has actually been shrinking. But if that’s the case, what is there to be upset about anymore?

It’s this thing called the Opportunity Gap.

The opportunity gap is basically the new gender pay gap. The opportunity gap happens when women are underrepresented in management and leadership positions in some of the highest paying jobs and industries. Specifically, we’re talking about women in STEM, and women in job roles from VP to the executive board.
