Equal Time With Martha Burk

March 14 is date this year when U.S. working women finally reach the amount men earned by the end of last year.  And that’s only when all women are lumped together.  Black women won’t meet men’s last year benchmark until September 21, Hispanic women October 8, and Native women will have to wait until November 30. Twenty years ago the wage difference between what U.S. women and men earn overall was 80 cents on the dollar.  Now it’s 82 cents. Mighty poor progress.
