This map shows which states have the biggest gender pay gaps via CNBCMakeIt
Kolmar notes that many of the states with the smallest pay gaps have strong legislation that encourages and enforces equal pay. "We also noticed that there is a correlation between the number of laws in a state regarding equal pay and the gender pay gap — more laws correlates with a smaller gap," he says.
In 2005, New York had a pay gap of 20.5%. In 2019, that figure was closer to 12.9%. During that time, New York passed several pieces of legislation aimed at closing the gender pay gap, including The New York State Fair Pay Act. reports that just two states, Alabama and Mississippi, have no legal equal pay protections. According to Zippia's research, these states have above-average pay gaps of 25.4% and 23.1%, respectively.
Of note, Zippia's analysis does not take part-time workers' earnings into consideration, or the earnings of undocumented workers. These figures would likely impact the results of the analysis.
