The 10 Largest Jobs Paying Under $10.10/Hour Are Majority Women

National Women’s Law Center, April 2013

Women have a particular stake in raising the minimum wage. Women are the majority of workers in each of the ten largest occupations that typically pay less than $10.10 per hour, and about two-thirds or more of the workers in seven of these occupations. Increasing the minimum wage and tipped minimum wage are key steps toward fair pay for women.
