excerpt from "Why Equal Pay Is Worth Fighting For" by

Senator Elizabeth Warren, April 17, 2014

Women today still earn only 77 cents for every dollar a man

ears, and they're taking a hit in nearly every occupation.

Bloomberg analyzed Census data and found that median

earnings for women were lower than those for men in 264 of

265 major occupation categories. In 99.6 percent of

occupations, men get paid more than women. That's not an

accident, that's discrimination.

The effects of this discrimination are real, and they are long

lasting. Today, more young women go to college than men, but

unequal pay makes it harder for them to pay back student loans.

Pay inequality also means a tougher retirement for women.

For middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to

get by, and many families depend as much on Mom's salary as

they do on Dad's, if not more. Women are the main

breadwinners, or joint breadwinners, in two-thirds of the families

across the country, and pay discrimination makes it that much

harder for these families to stay afloat.

Women are ready to fight back against pay discrimination, but

it's not easy. Today, a woman can get fired for asking the guy

across the hall how much money he makes. Here in the Senate,

Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.) introduced the Paycheck

Fairness Act to give women the tools to combat wage

discrimination. It would help ensure that salary differences have

something to do with the actual job that they are doing, and not

just because they are women.

Pay inequality exists in every job field:

"In 99.6 percent of occupations, men get paid more than women."

Wage inequity affects families, too:

"For middle-class families today, it usually takes two incomes to get by."

Women face many obstacles in fighting for equal pay:

"Women are tired of hearing that pay inequality isn't real. We're tired of hearing that it is somehow our fault."
