SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia's gender pay gap has narrowed slightly but women are still paid nearly a fifth less than men, with the finance, mining and construction industries showing the biggest differences, a government report found.

Among cities with a population of at least 350,000, Raleigh has one of the highest wage gaps: El Paso, Texas: $0.70 Wichita, Kansas: $0.70 Colorado Springs, Colorado: $0.71 San Jose, California: $0.72 Fort Worth, Texas: $0.75 Bakersfield, California: $0.76 Virginia Beach, Virginia: $0.76 Miami, Florida: $0.77 Raleigh, North Carolina: $0.77

The gender pay gap is steadily closing amid warnings revoking work from home flexibility will impact women's ability to earn more.
