Women's median earnings as a percentage of men's, for all workers 16 and over with earnings and within each major occupation group, as published by the Census Bureau. These figures cover all workers with earnings, full-time or part-time, so they differ from the full-time year-round comparison in the earnings-by-sex table; women's lower average hours account for part of the gap. Values above 100 mean women's median earnings are higher.
