Section 5 Work Status
5.1 Introduction
This section includes survey results of respondents’ current work status, including various demographic or contextual questions about their workplace and role. Topics include their current employment status, primary position, primary work location (e.g., on-site or remote), weekly work hours, and annual wage income, among others. The survey instructed respondents to answer within the context of the paid job where they spend the most time to account for women with more than one job. In addition, the survey asked respondents not employed when completing the survey to answer questions based on their most recent paid position.
The following graphs illustrate information about different groups based on the size of their employer, wage income, race / ethnicity, and race / ethnicity and wage income together. We only show the results we are sure are real, not just by chance. However, some of the visual differences between the groups may be due to chance. Also, just because we don’t see a difference between two groups, it doesn’t mean there isn’t a real difference. It just means we don’t have enough information to be sure.
5.2 Key Findings
- Most women were employed full-time by one employer, but women’s work status varied by the size of their employer, wage income, and race / ethnicity and wage income together.
- Women responding to the survey had a diverse array of primary positions and varied by their race / ethnicity, wage income, and race / ethnicity and wage income together.
- The majority of women responding to the survey were paid for 35 hours of work or more per week, which varied by the size of their employer, wage income, and race / ethnicity and wage income together.
- The majority of women responding to the survey made less than $100,000 a year, which varied by the size of their employer and race / ethnicity.
- About half of women reported receiving a job promotion within the past few years and this varied by the size of their employer, age / generation, race / ethnicity, income, and race / ethnicity and wage income together.
- The breakdown of leadership roles held by men, as reported by respondents, varied by the size of the employer, wage income, and race / ethnicity and wage income together.
