브레이크뉴스 문홍철 기자= 국내 대기업 여성 평균 임금이 처음으로 남성의 70%를 넘어선 것으로 나타났다.
22일 리더스인덱스에 따르면 국내 500대 기업 남녀 직원 평균 연봉 및 근속연수 현황을 조사한 결과, 2024년 기준 여성 평균 연봉은 7405만원으로, 남성 1억561만원의 70.1% 수준이었다.
이는 2023년의 68.6%에서 1.5%p 높은 것으로, 2년 전 66.9%에 비해서도 점진적으로 개선 추세다. 그만큼 매년 남녀 간 임금 격차가 줄어들고 있는 것이다.

상사업의 경우 여성의 평균 근속연수는 11.3년으로 남성 10.1년보다 길었지만, 평균 연봉은 7000만원으로 남성 1억1510만원의 60.8% 수준이었다,

In addition, in the service, energy, and distribution industries, women's average length of service was longer, at over 80% of that of men, but their average annual salary was lower, at 75.6%, 70.4%, and 68.8%, respectively.
