Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on average pays her female staffers $20,000 less than her male staffers.
Male staffers in Warren’s office took home a median annual salary of $73,750 in 2016, according to an analysis by the Washington Free Beacon, while female staffers brought home a median of $52,750 in 2016 — a discrepancy of more than $20,000.
That means female staffers in Warren’s office on average bring home just 71 cents for every dollar their male counterparts make.
The top five highest-paid staffers in Warren’s office were all men, earning between $113,750 and $156,000.
Just one female staffer in Warren’s office, her director of scheduling, earned more than $100,000 in 2016.
Warren is fond of tweeting on both her personal and Senate Twitter accounts about the injustices of women being paid less than men.
“I cannot believe I have to give another speech fighting for equal pay for equal work for women,” reads one tweet from her Senate account.

I'm glad to join strong women like ones on our @ussoccer #USWNT to fight for equal pay – in offices, factories, & yes, on the soccer field.

I support the #PaycheckFairness Act because women deserve equal pay for equal work. #TalkPay

I can't believe I have to say this in 2014: We believe in equal pay for equal work, and Democrats are fighting for it. #rallywomen
