Gender Differences

Although women make up 71% of the entire sample, only 49% of organizations with budget sizes of $10-20 million and 42% with budget sizes of $21million or more are led by women.  Because compensation is correlated to organizational size, and women tend to run smaller organizations, they are less likely to make higher salaries; although men are only 29% of the sample, they are 69% of those making $200,000 or more annually.
