It is clear from the charts that there was an increase in both the overall pay and salary of females along with a hike in the average salary .

In 1976, when the overall payment scale was between $7,500 and $17,400, the lower salary went for females. Around 32 to 39% of them received up to $9,900, whereas only 5 to 12% males got the same scale. However, in case of the proportion of females who accepted a higher payment, that was between $12,001 and $17,400 stood at just 7. Approximately 30-31% male staff got this scale.

From the overall salary scale of $19,999 to $80,000 and over in 2014, the rate of female employees who got up to $39,999 ranged from 6.8 to 21.4 compared to 3.4 and 14.4: the male proportions. On the other side, with 23.8 and 16.1%, males still were the higher remuneration receivers ($60,000 to $79,000 and over $80,000). In case of females, the rate declined from 21.1 to 11.3 as it came to $80,000 and over.

It is interesting to see that a higher percentage of both genders  got an average salary of $40,000 to $59,999 in 2014 than in 1976 ($9901 to $12,000).
