The pandemic has widened the gender pay divide across Scottish cities, with Aberdeen having the worst gender pay divide in the UK at 46%.
Job search engine Adzuna analysed more than 220,000 CVs of recent jobseekers during March to reveal the average earning potential of men and women in different locations. Each CV was parsed using semantic text-mining technology to extract full work history, years of work experience and key skills. Location data and keyword analysis then highlighted trends by city.
While men typically earn more than women across the UK, Aberdeen is the city with the widest gender pay gap, with men earning an average of £53,002 - compared to average female earnings of £28,836 - a difference of more than £24,000.
