SIX FACTS about the wage gender gap

think-progress:

1. In 2010 women who worked full time, year round, still only earned 77 percent of what men earned.

2. For working women between the ages of 25 to 29, the annual wage gap is $1,702. In the last five years before retirement, however, the annual wage gap jumps to $14,352.

3. More than 40 percent of the wage gap cannot be explained by occupation, work experience, race, or union membership.

4. Mothers earn about 7 percent less per child than childless women.

5. Single women earn only 78.8 percent of what married women earn, and only 57 cents for every dollar that married males earn.

6.  If the pay gap between men and women keeps narrowing at the current rate, it’ll take women 45 years to receive equal pay.

What we can do to close the gap faster than that.
