Responses from last year's survey showed that while females made up almost half of all agency employees (48.3 percent), overall, on average, they earned materially less than men in the same positions. In management, the survey revealed that in five of the eight agency management positions surveyed in 2016, men outpaced women in averages salaries as well.
