The situation isn’t quite so grim for young female college graduates. Women ages 22 to 27 who have a bachelor’s degree get paid almost as much as their young male peers. Sometimes, they even get paid more.
“According to our estimates, newly minted female college graduates earn as much as, or more than, men in 29 of the 73 majors,” economists Jaison Abel and Richard Deitz found.
Women who major in these fields are paid particularly well (more than men) after graduation: engineering, treatment therapy, art history, construction services, or business analytics.
