In 1990, the gender disparity was slightly less in Maine than it was for the nation as a whole Disparities in the amount of money that women make compared to men provide disincentives for women to contribute to the labor force and impair economic growth by not fully realizing the benefit of having productive, economic contributions from all people.
Gender disparities are even greater in some particular occupations than for the state as a whole.
