But women who were <strong>computer software engineers</strong> fared better, with median weekly earnings that were 87 percent of men's median weekly earnings. Meanwhile, female <strong>computer and information systems managers'</strong> median weekly earnings of $1,363 amounted to 85 percent of the $1,596 men in the same position earned. Conversely, the biggest pay gap between men and women in professional-level IT professions was in the network systems and data communications analyst position. The median weekly earnings for women in that position amounted to just 72 percent of men's median weekly earnings.<br>
