'For the STEM gap, new research shows the state-by-state differences.'
If it's not common knowledge that women in the US earn cents for every dollar a man makes , it should be. [Note: we originally said it was 89 cents on the dollar, but that's only for women age 25 to 34.] That's not the only place where the gaps between the genders remain. For the STEM gap, new research shows the state-by-state differences.
The chart above shows the gaps by state, according to the number of bachelor's degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. It underscores one serious fact: Not a single US state has a population where more women than men have STEM degrees . This data does not take into account the medical field—if you count that, woman do indeed have more bachelor's degrees—but the debate rages on whether medical counts as STEM.
Compared to 2015's numbers, the gender gaps have narrowed in some states and grown in others . DC's small gap for 2017 also came from a narrowing since 2015 of 3.6 percent.
