Nope, it still doesn’t stop there either.

The gender pay gap also widened among all university graduates aged under 30. In 2009 both male and female graduates earned £24,000 on average. Since then the median earnings for women have barely changed, rising to £24,500 in 2018. Meanwhile, men’s earnings have increased to an average of £28,000. This means that female graduates in 2018 earned substantially less than they did a decade ago. *Heavy sigh* It’s clear that, while employment rates for men and women are higher since the financial crisis, male graduates have benefited far more from the slow recovery in pay.

A closer look at the new information finds even more infuriating yet, again, unsurprising news. Graduates of all ages up to 64 earned a median salary of £34,000, with black graduates receiving median earnings of £25,500 and white graduates earning £35,000.

There is some good news, though. Employment rates are higher than in previous years for both men and women.

Women with post-graduate degrees STILL earn less than men without one. Why?
