Gender pay gap of full-time tourism and hospitality jobs in the UK 2020, by industry

Gender pay gap is defined as the difference between men's and women's average hourly earnings (excluding overtime) as a proportion of men's average hourly earnings (excluding overtime). Positive figures denote the average percentage by which women earn less. A minus figure indicates the percentage by which women earn more on average.
*Provisional data
** The source states that estimates are considered reasonable quality (coefficient of variation (CV) >5% and <= 10%)..
*** The source states that estimates are considered low quality and should be treated with caution. (CV > 10% and <= 20%).
Note that a CV less than or equal to 5% is considered good quality.

The statistic uses the median rather than the mean average, as this is the preferred measure of average earnings. Median is the value below which 50% of jobs fall. It gives a better indication of typical pay than mean as it is less affected by a relatively small number of very high earners and the skewed distribution of earnings.
