Top 20 highest paid professions among women in the USA

On average, in the US, women get about 78 cents for every dollar a man receives. Some companies are trying to do everything possible to reduce this difference and take a step towards equal earnings of women and men.

Some experts believe that much depends not only on the companies, but also on the employees themselves. In their opinion, it is important that women demand higher wages from their leaders.
