Women White House workers earned less on average than male peers

State of play: White House women last year earned 80 cents per every dollar a White House man made, the 19th found analyzing public White House employee salary data.

• This is a larger pay gap than the national average, which sees women earning 84 cents per every dollar made by a man.

In the White House, the median wage for women last year was $84,000, while it was $105,00 for men, per the 19th.

• The majority of the lowest-paid workers were women — 43 women made under $55,000 compared to 24 men.

What they're saying: "The president's leadership will help deliver fair compensation based on skills, experience, and expertise and adopt commonsense policies that will help pay millions of workers fairly, close gender and racial wage gaps, and yield tangible benefits for the federal government and federal contractors," a White House spokesperson told the 19th.

• However, they didn't answer questions about what the administration is doing to address in-house disparity.

Flashback: The 2020 pay gap between White House employees working under then-President Trump was wider — 76 cents for women for every man's dollar, found the 19th.
