Should Congress act to close the wage gap?

More than five decades after the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, women on average still make only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men. That gap is even wider for women of color. Compared to white men, African American women are paid 63 cents and Latina women are paid 55 cents. For a woman working full-time year-round, the current wage gap represents a loss of more than $400,000 over the course of her career. The wage gap impacts women's ability to save for retirement and reduces their total Social Security and pension benefits, contributing to more older women living in poverty.

Senator Warner is an original co-sponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act, legislation that would help eliminate the gender wage gap, and guarantee that women can challenge pay discrimination and hold employers accountable. The legislation would also end the practice of pay secrecy and strengthen the available remedies for wronged employees. Do you support the Paycheck Fairness Act? *

The existence of a gender gap is debatable and not your business. Laws you pass should be for the general welfare not for the benefit of one group of people. https://time.com/3222543/wage-pay-gap-myth-feminism/
