At the beginning of their careers, women earn more than men. But when they reach this age, the good times end.
Pay growth for college-educated women suddenly stops at around the age of 40, according to new findings from compensation research firm.

They found that women between the ages of 22 and 33 see their wages grow at a faster rate than men, according to a CNBC report on the study. But around age 40, wage growth suddenly stops for women.

By contrast, college-educated men see their pay continue to rise through their early 50s. By the age of 54, college-educated men are out-earning their female peers by $32,800.
