For most women in the US, the only chance to get into 1% of households with the highest income (more than $ 845 thousand per year) is to get married and get access to a spouse’s money, writes Life.ru.

The gender gap in income did not narrow with 90's. This is stated in a study conducted at the University of North Carolina (Charlotte).

Scientists said that among men, only 15% needed an additional income for wives to overcome the threshold that separates them from the cherished 1%. At the same time, only 5% of women in the richest families independently earn enough so that they can claim a place at the top.

It also became known that American women receive academic degrees more often than men. But this does not help them in the labor market. In particular, experts point to gender barriers to business in the United States. It turned out that women find it harder to get bank loans and financing for their business.
