U.S. women paid less in all industries, every level: report (Hillary Group)
Tell me again why I shouldn't support Hillary because she is a woman.
44 men and counting?
If progressive is about expanding equality and human rights...maybe some of us need to get honest and vote for Hillary despite - yes?
Women in the United States are paid less for equal work than men in all industries and a new report released on Thursday showed the widest discrepancy in wages is between married men and women with children.
Fathers earned the highest overall median salaries at about $67,900, compared to $46,800 for married mothers, and single women with children had the lowest median salary at $38,200.
"The gender pay gap is absolutely real," said Aubrey Bach, senior editorial manager of PayScale Inc., the online salary, benefits and compensation information company that compiled the report.
"Half or more of our workforce is made of women but we are still not progressing at the same level as men," she added.
