The 8th of March is the International Women’s Day. In this week’s #tidytuesday I use data data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau to plot the gender gap in earnings of women workers in the US from 1979 to 2011. I use gganimate() to illustrate this difference in salaries between men and women over time and by age ranges. The gap (i.e. less female salary percent of male salary) increases at older ages.
