16 Ways Women Still Aren’t Equal to Men

Women earn 83 cents for every dollar men earn

The pay gap between men and women has long been discussed and has been a sad fact of life ever since women entered the work force. The bad news? Even in 2018, we’re still dealing with it: The most recent data show that women earned 83 percent of what men earn, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of median hourly earnings of both full- and part-time American workers. By this math, it would take an extra 44 days of work for women to earn what men do. There is some good news, however. Among younger workers, ages 25 to 34, the gap is significantly smaller, with women earning 90 percent of what men do. It’s not equal yet but it’s great progress! (Do you know this one job interview question you should only answer if you’re a woman?)
