ITHACA, N.Y. - Women veterinarians make less than their male counterparts, new research from Cornell University s College of Veterinary Medicine has found ¬- with an annual difference of around $100,000 among the top quarter of earners.
The disparity predominantly affects recent graduates and the top half of earners, according to the research, the first overarching study of the wage gap in the veterinary industry. Veterinarians can take many paths in their careers, all of which affect earning potential, said the paper s senior author, Dr. Clinton Neill, assistant professor in the Department of Population Medicine and Diagnostic Sciences. Similar to what s been found in the human medicine world, we found the wage gap was more prominent in the beginning of their careers but dissipates after about 25 years. This has large implications for lifetime wealth and earnings, as men will consequently have a larger sum of wealth at the end of their careers because of this.
