00:00March 15th is Equal Pay Day. We still have a long way to go for women to receive equal pay.
00:06According to the Pew Research Center, in 2022, U.S. women earned $0.82 for every dollar earned by men.
00:14Sure, that's up from $0.80, but there's much work to be done to get that to a whole dollar.
00:20The Census Bureau breaks it down in this interactive map showing wage gaps by state.
00:25The wage gap in Florida is only $7,705.
00:28In California, it's $7,162.
00:33But in D.C., it's $16,032.
00:37Utah is $17,303.
00:41The state with the biggest pay gap, Wyoming, at $21,676.
00:48Glenda Gracia Rivera, Director of Professional Development and Training at the Rutgers Center for Women and Work, tells HuffPost,
00:55"...the top industries in Wyoming are heavily male-dominated, such as oil and drilling, coal mining, and petroleum refining."
01:04That could mean that there are fewer high-paying opportunities for women, likely relegating them to administrative roles in those sectors, unquote.
