Women gain career growth not matched by pay gap

The Census Bureau reports women have doubled employment since 1950 while men's numbers grew 25 percent, yet median full time female income in 1974 was 6,957 or 57 percent of men’s 12,152. Four years earlier the female median was 5,440 versus 9,184 for men. The disparity partly stems from women’s concentration in lower paying clerical, operative and service roles.
