The Gender Pay Gap, Starring Meryl Streep’s Most Iconic Roles

Across 525 professions, including 9 portrayed
by Streep’s characters, women earned 20% less than men in 2016, and
needed to work an additional 66 days to catch up, according to
Care.com’s Think Tank.
There’s a persistent pay gap that exists between working men and
women in our country, and sadly, it doesn’t appear to be going away
anytime soon. Men earn, on average, 20% more than women in the
same profession, which means that women would have to work,
on average, an extra 66 business days each year in order
to earn what a man in her position made in 1 year. That’s
the concept behind Equal Pay Day: the date on which working
women’s wages catch up to what men in their profession earned the
year prior. This year it falls on April 4th.
Of course, some professions have a bigger pay gap than others.
To best illustrate this concept, the data scientists at Care.com’s
Think Tank enlisted a little help from everyone’s favorite living
Hollywood legend, Meryl Streep.
Using 9 of Streep’s iconic roles — ranging from chef, to lawyer,
to editor-in-chief — the data scientists at Care.com’s Think
Tank calculated each character’s projected salary, and found
how much less Meryl’s character would be paid than a man in the
same position. They then determined the ‘Equal Pay Day’
for each character’s profession—i.e., how far into the next year
she’d need to work to earn the same as a man in her field.

pay gap across an additional 516 professions, complete with
