state -level pay gap and the gap
<br />for smaller racial/ethnic groups
<br />(e.g., Native Hawaiian or other
<br />Pacific Islander and American
<br />Indian or Alaska Native workers).
<br />The reason is that it includes more
<br />households -approximately 3
<br />million per year -compared with
<br />the 100,000 surveyed in the CPS
<br />(U.S. Census Bureau, 2016). The
<br />ACS results are released annually in
<br />September, and briefs based on the
<br />survey can be found on the Census
<br />Bureau's website. According to
<br />ACS data, in 2017 the pay gap
<br />was smallest in California, where
<br />women were paid 89 percent of
<br />what men were paid. The largest
<br />was in Louisiana, where women
<br />were paid 69 percent of what men
<br />were paid (figure 2).
<br />Note: National data include workers ages
<br />15 and older and are based on the Current
<br />Population Survey. State -level statistics
<br />include workers ages 16 and older are based
<br />on the American Community Survey.
