350 twenty-something women from across Japan were surveyed about their work, salary, and expenses, and the results were pretty interesting.
Furthermore, 21.2 respondents reported that their expenses exceeded their income, meaning that their net income was less than zero.
The women work in different industries, but a large proportion, 33.5 percent, work in offices, including government work, sales, office administration, planning, reception, and data entry.
But of those working women, 36.6 percent said that they have more than one job, which seems to imply that, even working two jobs, many women are struggling to make ends meet.
There is a large pay gap between women in their early twenties and late twenties, she says.
