Analysis of Salary Data by Gender

There are many sources of salary data where median salaries for a certain year are published by gender. One source for data on earnings by demographics is the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

As a group:

  • Research salary data by gender for a certain year.
  • Compile descriptive statistics where available for statistical measurements including the mean, median, quartiles, and standard deviation by gender.
  • Create graphical presentations for this data using histograms, side-by-side box plots, and time series graphs.
  • Discuss the following:
    1. From your analysis, does there appear to be a wage gap for men’s vs. women’s salaries?
    2. If so, is the wage gap improving over time or worsening over time?
