Top employers for this group of 国产伦理 alum include Cleveland Clinic, Akron Children's Hospital and Gojo Industries, while top majors are Nursing, Law and Accounting.
In "" PayScale reported that the pay gap widens as women progress in their careers. In an uncontrolled group of executives, women made $0.70 to every dollar made by men.
PayScale attributed this, in part, to the opportunity gap, explained as the tendency for women to climb the corporate ladder more slowly than men. In theory, if women accelerate their pace of upward mobility, they'll decrease their deficit in potential lifetime earnings.
So, according to Steppingblocks, universities producing high-earning female alumni under 40 are working toward better outcomes for their students, recent grads and alumni.
The company wanted to learn who is making the biggest strides in gender and pay. For this analysis, Steppingblocks used demographic, education and employment filters to generate a list of R2 universities producing the most high-earning females under 40.
The company was founded to produce skilled, confident, workforce-ready graduates, in addition to augmenting institutional success through data-driven tools.
