Today is Equal Pay Day, which marks the day in 2009 when the average woman’s wages will finally catch up with those paid to the average man in 2008.
You can get lots of info about the gender wage gap at the National Women’s Law Center site – including a state-by-state comparison of men’s & women’s wages.
You can see lots of other posts about Equal Pay Day here. I just want to leave you with a quote from Frank & Ernest artist Bob Thaves I think is especially appropriate:
“Remember, Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did, but backwards and in high heels.”
And probably for half the money.
