HOW ARE WOMEN FARING IN STARK COUNTY GOV'T EMPLOYMENT?


SOURCE OF DATA:  STARK CO AUDITOR
AS OF JUNE 1, 2018
NOTE:  FUNDING FROM STARK CO. & STATE OF OHIO TAXPAYER DOLLARS

In terms of parity with men at pay ranges of $80,000 per annum and up: not so well.

However, it has to be gratifying to Stark County women that not only is the top paid Stark County official is a woman.  But two of the top four paid county officials are women. And Renee Robinson is substantially ahead of William Green in annual pay.


One will not see this in many settings in 2018 America.

In categories of $49,999 and below, Stark County's women "taken men to the cleaners!"

Such is a "good news, bad news" scenario.

The "bad news" is Stark County women working in countywide government positions fit the pattern that women are generally paid less than men and are less likely to land high paying positions in numbers in parity with men.

The "good news" is that in the $40,000 to $49,999 category, which is certainly a "I can support my moderate sized family" level of income, Stark County government women employees constitute 64% of workers in that category.

Icing on "the employment cake" is that women have about 500 more county government jobs than men.
