Federal Statistical Office: Three out of four full-time women earn less than men. For 40 percent of the women affected, their earnings are at least 30 percent lower.
Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are at the bottom of the list among the federal states. The differences are explained by the fact that many jobs often carried out by women have low hourly wages. The statistics office's figures refer to 6.5 million full- time employed women nationwide.. Public administration, defense, social security and companies with fewer than ten employees are not included.
