A 2022 analysis of freelance workers in the United States found that the men working as freelance accountants earned an average of 20.50 U.S. dollars per hour more than their female counterparts. While women generally out-earn men working in social media strategy, or HR administration, the gap between men and women's earnings is small. This is less the case for roles in DevOps engineering, or systems administration, in which men out-earn women by significant margins.
