In Oklahoma, women earn almost 80% of what their male counterparts earn — or about $752 per week on average compared to the $942 a week for men, according to U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data through 2020.
However, the state is narrowing the gap. Oklahoma’s wage discrepancy is getting smaller — in 2019, women earned 76.5 percent of what men earned.
And while Oklahoma women earn a bit less here compared to the rest of the nation, the discrepancy in pay is similar. Nationwide, women are earning 82%, or $891, of the $1,082 median for men.
