Source: BLS OEWS, 2025 · Ranges are 25th–75th percentile of reported wages for the occupation code · All workers, regardless of gender.

Women are 51% of arts, design, entertainment, sports, and media occupations nationally, and earn 93¢ 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 — that’s the point.
