This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at DESU chapter.

New research indicates that women are currently paid 80% of what men are paid here in America.

We’ve all heard and read about the infamous gender pay gap. We’ve questioned whether or not this gap really exists or if it’s just an excuse for laziness, but here lies the truth. Here are five jobs that pay woman less than men.                       

  1. Chef

          For every dollar that a male makes as a chef, a woman is paid 72 cents.

   

 

2. Dentist

For every dollar than a male makes as a dentist a woman makes 72 cents.

          

3. Pharmacist

4. Physician

For every dollar that a male makes as a physician, a woman makes 82 cents.

After decades of protesting, have we come far enough as a gender, or do we still have a long way to go?
