Somehow, equal pay for women is still an issue; legislation is being passed as I write this to ease the gender pay gap. But the problem isn’t equal. For the 49.3% of U.S. workers that are women, certain cities and metro areas are far more likely than others to yield a fair work environment.
Financial information company NerdWallet has rounded up a list of the best small, medium, and large U.S. cities for women in the workforce, based on the population growth rate, whether women earn high overall salaries, and whether they earn as much as men. "We used population growth to weed out (shrinking) cities like Detroit. That isn’t specific to women, but workers in general," explains Divya Raghavan, a NerdWallet analyst.
