In 1998, women in managerial and professional occupations
earned much more per week than women in other occupations. Their median weekly earnings
were 56 percent greater than those of technical, sales, and administrative support
workers, the next-highest category.
Women in managerial and professional jobs earned $655 per week, while those in technical, sales, and administrative support jobs made $419. Workers in the third-highest group—precision production, craft, and repair—earned $408 per week. In the remaining categories, workers earned less than half of what managers and professionals made. The median weekly earnings of operators, fabricators, and laborers were $327, and for service workers, weekly earnings were $296. Women with farming, forestry, and fishing jobs made the least per week, $272. These data on earnings are produced by the Current Population Survey. More information can be found in "Highlights of Women’s Earnings in 1998," BLS Report 928.
