While still an issue, a new Pew survey has [found](https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/03/28/young-women-are-out-earning-young-men-in-several-u-s-cities/) that women under 30 are actually outearning their male counterparts in **22 of 250** American metro areas, including New York City, San Diego, and Washington D.C. The research also found that **~47%** of young US women live in areas where they make, on average, 90%-99% of what comparable men make. As women age, history sadly suggests their numbers worsen. In 2000, women ages 16-29 working full time earned 88% compared to male counterparts. By 2019, these same women were making just 80%.
