The wage gap between full-time male and female workers in Connecticut got smaller last year, according to the National Partnership for Women and Families.
Citing U.S. Census Bureau data, NPWF said fully employed women in Connecticut are paid $50,706 on average compared to men, who make $61,385.
That amounts to women earning 83 cents on the dollar compared to men, the nonprofit advocacy said. That 17-cent gap is the 10th lowest in the country among states.
NPWF pegged the state’s gender wage gap at 78 percent in 2013.
