Women's salaries in Washington show signs of stalling compared to men

Women in Washington state earned 81 cents to a man’s dollar in 2014. But new numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics show the gender pay gap in Washington state has widened, with women now earning 75.4 percent of what a man makes.

The latest data from 2018 shows the median weekly salary for women at $860 a week, compared to $1,140 a week for men.

The pay gap is not as wide in other states. For example, women in California make 88.3 percent of what a man earns.

In Nevada, women make 87 percent of what a man earns. In Oregon, it’s 82 percent, and close to 84 percent in Arizona.
