The Gender Pay Gap At Car Dealerships Is Way Worse Than The National Average

The average American household earned $74,580 in 2022 across all industries, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. The salary gap between women who work at car dealerships and men who work at franchised car dealerships is approximately one average American household, according to new survey data from Automotive News. Men in the industry earned an average of $218,700 in 2023, while women averaged $144,400 in the same period. For every dollar earned by a car dealership man, a car dealership woman made just 66 cents.

The U.S. Department of Labor estimates that the average American woman makes 83 percent of what the average American man makes in a similar position, meaning women in car dealerships might be 17 percent worse off than women in other jobs.
