Show Notes
A new AP-NORC poll reveals a stark divide on wages, with most working women in the US reporting disadvantages in earning competitive pay, while many men see things differently. The gender wage gap is widening, with womens full-time earnings barely rising last year, pushing their average pay to 80.9% of mens in 2024, down from 82.7% the previous year. Women report high stress over pay, often citing personal experiences of bias and factors like clustering in lower-paying jobs and the motherhood penalty. Some states are pushing pay transparency laws, while the Trump administration has scaled back federal tools for probing wage discrimination, exacerbating the perception gap and ongoing tensions in the workforce.
