Canton, GA gender pay gap statistics

In Canton, the population consists of 16,335 males (50.51%) and 16,007 females (49.49%), a breakdown further detailed in Canton population by gender.

With a gender ratio of 102:100 i.e. 102 men to 100 women (1.020), Canton hosts more men than women. This demographic distribution sets the backdrop for our exploration into gender-based income disparities within the area.

Historically, addressing gender-based pay differences has been a pressing concern, prompting substantial efforts not only from government initiatives but also from advocacy groups, businesses, and social movements. To explore this further within the context of Canton, our analysis will focus on examining the income data to understand the reality of gender-based pay differences.

Here are the key findings from our analysis:

  • All workers, aged 15 years and older: In Canton, the median income for all workers aged 15 years and older, regardless of work hours, was $42,580 for males and $28,900 for females.

    These income figures highlight a substantial gender-based income gap in Canton. Women, regardless of work hours, earn 68 cents for each dollar earned by men. This significant gender pay gap, approximately 32%, underscores concerning gender-based income inequality in the city of Canton.

  • Full-time workers, aged 15 years and older: In Canton, among full-time, year-round workers aged 15 years and older, males earned a median income of $52,803, while females earned $54,113

    Surprisingly, within the subset of full-time workers, women earn a higher income than men, earning 1.02 dollars for every dollar earned by men. This suggests that within full-time roles, womens median incomes significantly surpass mens, contrary to broader workforce trends.

To visualize the evolving trend, here is a line chart depicting the changes in gender-specific annual median incomes over time in Canton, encompassing both full-time and all workers aged 15 years and older.

Canton, GA gender and employment-based income distribution analysis (Ages 15+)

To gain insights into gender-based income distribution within the Canton population, we conducted an analysis across 20 distinct brackets for males and females aged 15 years and over, covering both full-time year-round workers and other employment designations.

Within Canton, among individuals aged 15 years and older with income, there were 11,376 men and 10,343 women in the workforce. Among them, 7,518 men were engaged in full-time, year-round employment, while 4,919 women were in full-time, year-round roles.

Analyzing the percentage of full-time, year-round workers to the total workforce reveals that among men, the proportion of full-time employment was 66.09%, whereas among women, the ratio was 47.56%. This indicates that a higher percentage of men were engaged in full-time, year-round roles compared to women.

The observed disparity may stem from various factors such as industry choices, societal expectations, or employment opportunities, revealing potential gender-based variations in employment trends within Canton.

Parenthood, for instance, is one such factor influencing these trends. Women between 25 and 44 years old who are mothers are less inclined to participate in the workforce compared to women of the same age without children at home. Furthermore, when employed, these mothers often work fewer hours per week, adding to the observed disparities in full-time employment between genders.

To provide a more comprehensive understanding of income distribution, we have grouped the original income brackets into five broader categories for analysis purposes: Under $24,999, $25,000 to $49,999, $50,000 to $74,999, $75,000 to $99,999, and above $100,000. This grouping allows for a more focused assessment of income disparities across distinct income ranges, offering clearer insights into gender-based income distributions within the Canton population.

The analysis unveiled the following key findings:

  • Annual income under $24,999: Of the male population working full-time, 21.61% fell within the income range of under $24,999, while 18.68% of the female population working full-time was represented in the same income bracket. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 50.57% of males and 69.23% of females were found within this income range.

    In total, among the population aged 15 years and older with income, across all employment categories, the analysis revealed that 31.43% of the entire male population and 45.19% of the entire female population fell within the income bracket of under $24,999.

    A higher percentage of females compared to males falling within the under $24,999 income bucket suggests a potential disparity, indicating a greater concentration of women in this lower income range.

  • Annual income between $25,000 and $49,999: 30.38% of males in full-time employment were within the $25,000 to $49,999 income range, while 31.19% of females in full-time roles were represented in this income bracket. Moreover, among other employment categories, 26.46% of males and 19.49% of females fell into this income range.

    Considering the population aged 15 years and older with income across all employments, 29.05% of the total male population and 25.05% of the total female population were encompassed within this income bracket.

    The higher representation of males compared to females in the $25,000 to $49,999 income bracket indicates a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater prevalence of men within this lower-middle income range.

  • Annual income between $50,000 and $74,999: 25.22% of men in full-time employment fell within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket, while 29.11% of women in full-time positions were also within this income range. Furthermore, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 13.35% of men and 7.45% of women were situated within this specific income bracket.

    Overall, considering the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 21.19% of the total male population and 17.75% of the total female population were found within the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket.

    The higher proportion of males compared to females in the $50,000 to $74,999 income bracket suggests a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater prevalence of men within this middle-income range.

  • Annual income between $75,000 and $99,999: 9.34% of men in full-time roles occupied the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket, while 12.52% of women in full-time positions shared this income range. Additionally, among individuals in other non-full-time employment categories, 7.02% of men and 1.03% of women were situated within this specific income bracket.

    In total, among the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 8.55% of the total male population and 6.50% of the total female population fell within the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket.

    The elevated ratio of males to females in the $75,000 to $99,999 income bracket hints at a potential inequality, underscoring a stronger predominance of men within this upper-middle income range.

  • Annual income above $100,000: 13.45% of men in full-time roles earned incomes exceeding $100,000, while 8.50% of women in full-time positions earned within this income bracket. Additionally, among those in alternative non-full-time employment, 2.59% of men and 2.80% of women earned within this income bracket.

    In total, across the entire population aged 15 years and older with income across all job types, 9.77% of the total male population and 5.51% of the total female population earned incomes above $100,000.

    The increased proportion of males compared to females in the above $100,000 income bracket suggests a potential inequality, emphasizing a greater predominance of men in this higher income range.
