Women working in the White House earn $ 83,5 thousand, while the monthly salary of men is $ 104 thousand. This is an average of $ 21 thousand less.

According to the White House Annual Report to the US Congress, women in the White House earn 20% less than men, reports CNN.

Women earn an average salary of 80 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts. According to the Department of Labor, this gender pay gap is higher than the national average — 82 cents per dollar.

The disparity is primarily due to the fact that more women occupy lower positions. Half of the men who work in the White House earn $ 95 thousand or more annually, and half the women earn $ 70 500.

The top salary for permanent employees in the White House is $ 179 700. Among 22 employees are all 6 women who receive such a salary.
