Women working in Information and Communication sector jobs have the biggest pay disparity with their male colleagues, at 30%.

That is in contrast to women in the utilities and waste sector, who appear to have average hour earnings that are 3.4% higher.

The Gender Pay Gap report for Jersey is published annually in March.

Jersey's government recently recorded the pay gap in the public sector as 8.6%, saying it has nearly halved since 2022.
