Trend 3: Industry developments Hourly pay quarters

A notable connection can be observed between the industries that have witnessed a larger increase in the percentage of females in their Upper and Upper Middle quarters (calculated as a median increase, on a company-by-company basis) and those that have, on average, experienced a significant reduction in hourly pay gaps. Notably, industries like Manufacturing, Technology, and Professional, Scientific & Technical fall into this category. We also observe that industries such as Construction, Manufacturing, Technology, Mining & Quarrying, Energy, and Transportation & Storage which show the lowest proportions of females in their Upper and Upper Middle quarters, all measuring below 30%, have reported the highest increase in females represented in both or either of the top pay quarters over the six reporting years.
