Source: BLS OEWS, 2025 · Ranges are 25th–75th percentile of reported wages for the occupation code · All workers, regardless of gender.
Women are 73% of office and administrative support occupations nationally, and earn 88¢ for every dollar men earn (U.S. Census ACS 2024; earnings full-time year-round). A market-based target is computed the same way regardless of gender, and that is the point.
