Apparently the big news on wages is that the wage gap between males and females has dropped to less than 20%. Feminists should be throwing streamers but wait...
From US Dept. of Labor
Then EPI
New data released by the U.S. Census Bureau show that the gender pay gap for full-time, full-year workers is the smallest on record. The shrinking gap was a feature in the Department of Labor’s report, Highlights of America’s Workforce: Labor Day 2006. Women now earn 77 cents on the dollar compared to men. After an increase in the gap from 2002 to 2003, the gap shrunk over the last two years. However, as the Figure shows, these declines were solely due to the fact that earnings have fallen for both men and women, but have fallen more so for men—not a desirable scenario.
Look at the chart.
