Women still earn less than men. In Saxony, however, the difference is not as great as in western Germany.

Women in Saxony earned an average of seven percent less than men last year. According to the State Statistical Office, women earned an average gross hourly wage of 20.46 euros. This was 1.50 euros less than the average earnings of men per hour (21.96 euros).

The national average difference in earnings between women and men was 16 percent in 2024. In eastern Germany, the difference was put at five percent, in western Germany including Berlin at 17 percent.
