"The gender pay gap is hopelessly static right now. For the last decade, median earnings for women working full time, year-round have been just 77% of men's earnings. This oft-cited percentage stems from U.S. Census Bureau data and is not, despite critiques, something made up by feminists to (heaven forbid) give women raises. However, that stat is just a snapshot of the pay gap in the U.S., so it's important to drill down deeper. The American Association of University Women's research report, Graduating to a Pay Gap, does just that." This article speaks about the pay gap between women and men, and it also speaks about the unfair advantages the male has to the female in the work force. It also adds how the congress must pass an act for equal pay in order to protect everyone from this unfair income inequality.

"IWPR tracks the gender wage gap over time in a series of fact sheets updated twice per year. According to our research, if change continues at the same slow pace as it has done for the past fifty years, it will take 44 years-or until 2058-for women to finally reach pay parity. IWPR's annual fact sheet on the gender wage gap by occupation shows that women earn less than men in almost any occupation. IWPR's Status of Women in the States project tracks the gender wage gap across states." This articles speaks about the wage gap between genders in the work force. It talks about the time it will take for the genders to receive equal pay and it also speaks about the segregation of jobs based on gender.
