The government has published its latest gender pay gap report, which shows that women in public sector roles earned 92.2p per hour for every £1 that men did, when comparing the median.
Women accounted for around two-thirds of the public service in 2025, predominantly making up the workforce of teachers and teaching assistants, as well as nurses and midwives.
When comparing the total government workforce by hourly pay, women make up almost three-quarters of the lowest earners.
The typical female worker's hourly wage was £34.09 compared to the male hourly wage of £36.97.
No pay gaps were found in the police and prison services, as well as among teachers and trainee or junior doctors.
Deputy Malcolm Ferey, vice chair of the States Employment Board, says all islanders are paid equally for the same roles.
"It is, however, possible to have a pay gap and to still pay people fairly, and this data helps us to see where, on average, differences exist and why.
"Any gap is partly driven by roles in which one gender or another is traditionally attracted to."
"Over the coming year, we will continue to strengthen internal policies, review barriers to career progression, and ensure that our workplace practices support equity at every stage."
