Then there are the cities where, statistically speaking, women might do well to rethink their choice of geography. In Jacksonville, Florida, women get paid 76.7 percent of what men get in tech, and in Durham, North Carolina, they get paid 76.9 percent -- in terms of pay, the worst on the list. (But because they're both above the national average, it would seem that women are paid even more poorly in areas too small to qualify for SmartAsset's analysis.) In the overall rankings, Madison, Wisconsin, and Portland, Oregon, do the worst.
