Florida is lagging behind the rest of the country when it comes to paying women.
The median wage for women working full time in the Sunshine State is $41,633 annually, far behind the national average of $49,263 and making it the worst-paying state in the country once adjusted for cost of living, according to an analysis by financial consulting firm Smartest Dollar.
The good news: Wages for women working full time has increased across the board in recent years. Adjusted for inflation, wages have increased about 14% since 2012, in part due to a big jump during the pandemic years.
