About Johnstown, Pennsylvania
Johnstown is a city in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, United States. Johnstown was settled by Europeans in 1770. Its population and economy expanded from the post-Civil War period well into the 20th century, as the Industrial Revolution stimulated manufacturing, mining of iron and coal, and the rise of the steel industry. Cambria Iron Company is a National Historic Landmark located near the downtown area. Johnstown's city seal has an image of this facility. (Wikipedia)

Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.
Women out-earn men by $7,006 (16%) a decade out.
Federal figures for former students working and not enrolled, 10 years after they first entered. A gap this wide usually reflects which majors men and women here tend to choose — not different pay for the same job.
