Women workers may not be faring as well as you’d think

Women in Santa Clara County are the most likely in California to work a low-wage job. They also face California’s third highest gender income gap, according to a new analysis by the California Budget & Policy Center.

The women’s well-being index ranked the state’s 58 counties based on 30 indicators, including economic factors such as income, the rate of women earning low-wages and the earnings gap between men and women.
