We face a wide discrepancy between the earnings of American women and men. Women now work seven days to earn as much as men do in five days. In almost every occupation, men's earning power defeats women. This is true even for women who have pursued careers on a full-time basis for all of their adult lives. Men in female-dominated occupations still tend to make more than the women.
Women in the United States do not fare well economically compared with women in other developed countries. This comparison is based on earning power, or what women earn compared to men. Although the United States in not at the bottom of the inequality list, we are closer to the bottom than that top.
