Gender Wage Gap Smallest on Record, but Women Still Earn 21% Less Than Men

Eric Morath writes for The Wall Street Journal: “Women working full-time, year-round jobs earned 78.6% of what similar men did in 2014, according to a Census report released Wednesday. That’s the smallest gap on record back to 1960.

The latest reading marks a narrowing from 77.6% in 2013, but the change is not statistically significant. In fact, the pay gap hasn’t changed meaningfully since 2007, when it was 77.8%.”
