The study from Wallet Hub looked at 182 cities across the U.S. They were compared across two key dimensions: women’s economic and social well-being and women’s health care and safety.
Chip Lupo, an analyst for Wallet Hub, said the Maryland suburb does exceptionally well on the financial front for women.
鈥淚t’s first in median earnings for female employees at just under $62,000,鈥� he told 海角精品黑料. 鈥淭hat’s key, because there are still studies out there that are suggesting that nationwide, women are still earning about 85 cents for every dollar that men earn.鈥�
The poverty rate is also very low, the eighth-lowest in the country.
On the health front, the city also has the 10th best life expectancy for women.
鈥淣early 85% of women in Columbia are physically active, which is six highest percentage in the country,鈥� Lupo said.
