Re: Men: Would You Marry an American Woman?
"Fifty years after the Equal Pay Act became law, American women working full-time are paid just 77 cents to the dollar compared to their male counterparts. A significant wage gap also persists throughout New York. In New York City, a female full-time worker in the for-profit sector earns only 71.5 cents for every dollar her male counterpart earns. Although the statewide wage gap of 82.5% is smaller than the national average, workers in non-metropolitan areas still earn 23% less than their counterparts in the city. Due to the wage gap, full-time working women in New York collectively lose more than $22,340,000,000 each year. If the wage gap is closed, working women in New York and their families would have enough money for more than a year’s worth of food; 4.4 months of mortgage and utility payments; 9 additional months of rent; 3 extra years of family health insurance premiums; or more than 2,000 gallons of gas.
