The US picture may be bleak but are British women really as worse off as women in the States when it comes to social media salaries?
We got in touch with a UK-based social media recruitment company to find out if we really have anything to worry about.
According to Emma McNamara, Managing Director of recruitment firm Propel London, there are just more men applying for the roles at the outset:
"We have experienced more male applicants for
the roles, however have not seen any gender preference from clients or differences
in salaries offered. I think it really depends on the community involved and
the candidates overall experience."
