WAGE GAP BETWEEN MEN AND WOMEN, ONCE NARROWING, IS NOW WIDENING
By TAMAR LEWIN
After nearly two decades in which the wage gap between men and women was
steadily narrowing, it is now widening again, piquing confusion and concern
among economists and women's groups alike.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median weekly earnings of
full-time working women are just under 75 percent of the men's median, down
from 77 percent four years ago.
