AR Ranks 33rd in Gender Pay Gap Study
Women have made remarkable strides in education during the past three decades, but these gains have yet to translate into full equity in pay — even for college-educated women who work full time. A typical college-educated woman 25 years and older working full time earns $50,000 a year compared to $70,000 for college-educated male workers 25 years and older — a difference of $20,000!
Passing legislation such as the Paycheck Fairness Act is critical to closing this gap. Read more about the gender gap study as well as take action at: http://www.aauw.org/learn/research/statedata/
