In 1960, women teachers were better paid than other similarly educated workers-by about 14.7%. By 2000, the situation had reversed to the point where female teachers faced a 13.2% annual wage deficit. The pay gap for teachers who are early in their careers has grown only slightly in the past 10 years, the EPI says. For senior female teachers (in the 45-54 age group), the deficit grew 18% during that same period.
