The pay for government jobs tends to be more transparent than private-sector roles. Agencies are required by law to post the starting pay on job announcements, and some government job boards require the full salary range be listed on openings. There's generally also a more structured timeline and process for raises and promotions compared to jobs in the private sector.

The gap widens for women of color — 15% for Black women in comparison to what white men are paid, and 27% for Native women.
