Exclusive new research from Bloomberg Businessweek has found that the pay gap among graduates of elite business schools, virtually non-existent a decade ago, is widening. Women now earn a nickel less than they used to in their first post-MBA jobs for every dollar earned by men.
And those are the lucky ones. At about a third of the top 30 U.S. business schools, they earn less, sometimes far less. Female MBA graduates from the graduating class of 2012 at Wharton earned 86 cents on the male dollar, while those at Stanford earned 79 cents on the dollar. In the U.S. workforce overall, women earn 82 percent of what men earn, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The B-school wage gap data is based on surveys of more than 27,000 recent business school graduates that Bloomberg Businessweek conducted as part of its biennial rankings of full-time MBA programs starting in 2002. The study tracked the wage gap at the 30 top U.S. business schools in the magazine’s most recent ranking in 2012.
