Married men earn more than any other demographic with an average salary of over $86,000, a study reveals.
Research from the St. Louis Fed shows that married men significantly out-earn single men as well as both married and single women.
Their earnings exceed $86,000 per year by their peak earning years, while all the other groups barely graze $50,000 per year, according to the report.
For women, marriage offers only a small wage benefit, which disappears once they enter their late fifties and sixties.
Married men earn more than any other demographic with average yearly earnings of $80,000
Married women earn an estimated $50,000 a year while single earn $45,000 at the age of 47
Unmarried men and women enjoy similar annual earnings - although they take home far less than married men.
At their income peak at age 47, married men earn an average of $86,502 per year, the report found.
By comparison, single men who are 47 earn $49,288, not far the $45,672 earned by single women of the same age.
Married women who are 47, meanwhile, earn almost $51,000.
Experts claimed the findings do not mean that men are paid more because they are married, even if it seems like the most logical explanation.
Guillaume Vandenbroucke, a research officer with the Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis, explained: 'It might be that men with higher wages are more likely to marry.
'Men often marry later than women, so there are relatively few married men in their 20s.
'This explains why the difference in wages is less pronounced earlier in life: The average male worker in his 20s is more likely single than married'.
The findings reinforce earlier research about how gender, marriage and children impact earnings.
The marriage premium for men extends across racial groups, with black men earning at least $12,500 more than their single peers, according to a 2014 paper from the American Enterprise Institute.
Education, income and marriage may be tied up in the question of why marriage delivers higher income for men.
College-educated Americans are much more likely to be married than those with only high school diplomas, creating not only a marriage gap, but an income gap.
Americans without a four-year college degree now earn less than they did in 1979, according to research from the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute.
College-educated workers, meanwhile, enjoyed wage gains of about 16 per cent over that time.
Americans with graduate degrees saw their income rise 30 per cent.
Wages tend to increase over time for both men and women, at least up until the age of 50, Men and women acquire more experience the longer they work and, therefore, become more valuable and productive.
After 50, they either slow down and learn fewer new skills, economists say, or they are competing with younger, less expensive but equally skilled, employees for the same jobs.
Earlier in life, the salary difference between men and women is 'noticeably less pronounced,' Vandenbroucke wrote.
'It is tempting to ascribe this latter point to the fact that younger women are more likely to get married, have children, and eventually withdraw from the labor force,' he added.
'Once out of the labor force, these women would not accumulate human capital, and, subsequently, they would lose ground relative to men. This would explain why the difference in wages grows with age'.
Sexism could play a role in married men's higher wages.
Male hiring managers may be more likely to pay men more and if they're older, they too may be married and believe that a man who has a wife and family may deserve more money.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
