While many men, especially among Congressional Republicans, seem to feel that the purported wage gap between men and women is just a myth, a new report illustrates otherwise.
In an April report just released by the NWLC (National Women's Law Center), it showed that for a woman just to break even with a man when it comes to lifetime earnings, she'd have to work 12 more years than him. Over the course of 40 years, the average full-time working woman makes $443,360 less than the average full-time working man.
This isn't fair and this isn't right. In order to try and equalize pay for equal work between men and women, please write your local Congressmen and women, sign petitions, and spread word. Two such petitions you can sign are at the following links:
