Plenty of companies offer steep discounts and even free products and services only available to those 50 years or older. There are private companies and federal programs that many of our senior citizens know of, but there are plenty that exist that are relatively unknown, until now. That's why we are here.

Some progress has been made in encouraging more women to enter male-dominated fields and to close gaps in wages. Computer programming is one example where the wage gap has shrunk since 2016. But in other cases, inequities persist: 50% of women leave tech jobs by the time they are 35 years old. As for the reverse, women continue to dominate in careers such as nursing or teaching, but often men in those fields earn more than women. Women in government public health jobs make $3,000 less than men in the same positions, or men in special education jobs out earn women by $2,400. StudySoup compiled data from the National Center for Education Statistics to identify 15 college majors with the greatest gender disparities. The data is submitted by all U.S. colleges participating in the Title IV federal financial aid program, with 2017–18 being the most recent year available. StudySoup removed majors with less than 5,000 students, leaving just over 1,000 disciplines in the dataset. StudySoup recognizes the data collected views gender through a binary lens, which does not accurately represent all gender identities. A recent study estimates about 1.2 million adults in the U.S. identify as nonbinary, a population not explored in the collected data set.

In many states, this has taken the form of funding from the CARES Act, a massive federal funding package that helped to allocate funds at states’ discretion. With that money, states are able to invest in bulk buys of Wi-Fi hotspots, for example. These can be loaned out to students as needed or used to help whole sections of communities to access Wi-Fi. In addition, many internet service providers made deals to offer free or discounted services for anywhere from a month to, well, indefinitely. That’s true around the country, with some operating on simple lists of students in need that are sent over by schools. In other places, students qualify by receiving SNAP or other benefits, free or discounted school lunches, or Medicaid benefits. These students are then able to log onto virtual lessons over costly bandwidth services like Zoom, which seems to have cornered the market for educational meetings. HeyTutor used the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey, released on May 5, 2021, to rank the states according to which ones have the best internet access. The 50 states and Washington D.C. are ranked by the percentage of households that responded as “always” having internet availability for education purposes. Ties are broken by the percentage of households that responded as “usually” having internet availability for education purposes. Each state also includes information on general computer availability in the household, as well as who pays for the internet and whether internet services are available in the home. Note that households that said they “rarely” or “never” have internet or computer availability were not included in this article, but they are part of the total percentage of households surveyed.
