Despite all the advances in women’s equality over the decades, women continue to be outpaced by men in rank and salary growth — in the exact same careers. The recent list of highest-paid CEO’s by Forbes magazine has proven that there is indeed a salary disparity between genders. Irene B Rosenfeld, CEO of Kraft Foods, tops all the women but is only ranked 48th on the overall list.

According to government statistics, women still make less money than men while doing the same jobs. And sadly, there are only a handful of occupations where women’s earnings are equal to or exceed men. This includes being a pharmacist, chief executive, or a lawyer.
