Australian women are earning nearly $26,000 less than their male colleagues as efforts to close the gender pay gap stall.
The latest data released by the Workplace Gender Equality Agency shows the pay gap remains stuck at 22.8 per cent.
This means that for the first time, the gap in the 2021/22 financial year was the same as the year before, with women paid $0.77 for every $1 earned by men.
