Saxony-Anhalt: Women earn six percent less than men in the state

Halle (dpa/sa) - Saxony-Anhalt's women earned an average of six percent less than men in 2022. The difference in gross hourly wages in the group from the age of 40 is particularly high, said a spokeswoman for the State Statistical Office on Monday in Halle. The earnings gap here is around ten percent.

Different industries, professions and requirement levels as well as part-time work are the reasons for this, explained the statisticians on the international day of action for equal pay between men and women (Equal Pay Day) this Tuesday.
