On average, male doctors earned $43,000 more than female doctors every year, a study found. Here’s the long-term consequence of the divide.
The pay gap between male and female doctors is costing women more than $2 million over their medical career.
It’s also a reminder of the long-term money tolls for pay gaps that persist across all professions. Last year, women working full time made 82 cents for every dollar a man earned, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. “The gap started with men making almost $170,000 on average compared to the $127,000 salary that women earned.”
As result, it was “unlikely to contribute to the entirety of the observed differences in income,” they said.
