While equal pay is still a big issue for American women, there is hope for single ladies in a few cities.

According to a study done by RedFin, there are several places where, in a head-to-head comparison of single men and single women, more women earn more than $100,000 a year than their male counterparts.

The number one place for single women to six figures is Washington, D.C., where over 4 percent of unattached women are bringing home at least $100,000, compared to just .8 percent of single men.

Neighboring Baltimore is also a good place for single women to earn, coming in fifth on the list.

Boston comes in second. With Harvard feeding the employment force, it's not a surprise that single women are getting paid a substantial salary,

The only town on the West Coast that appears to be good for single women is third-placed San Francisco. In a town where homes are selling in the "low 1 millions," a hundred grand a year isn't that exciting.

New York comes in fourth place with 2.4 percent of single women making over $100,0000 a year at their job. So basically if single women are looking to make big bucks, it looks like you need to move to the North East.
