More than three quarters of large UK employers are paying women less than men on average, according to new data. And the gender pay gap is actually growing at roughly half of the companies. Companies with 250 or more employees in the United Kingdom had a deadline Friday to publish gender pay data, the second consecutive year of mandatory disclosures designed to encourage equality.The data show that women are paid less on average across all industries in the public and private sectors.
Jefferies , for example, reported a gender pay gap of just under 50%. That means the median woman at the investment bank is paid half what the median man gets.The company didn't respond to a request for comment, but it said in a report published alongside the data that"we recognize that we still have more work to do."Big banks including Barclays , HSBC , Lloyds Bank and UBS also revealed median gaps of between 30% and 45%.
