Median earnings 10 years after entry, split by gender.
Men out-earn women by $13,638 (12%) 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.
