Hillary & the wage gap
& saving the best, more substantive, less political politics for last, an article about Hillary and her efforts to combat the wage gap:
http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/0
Senate Bill 841 (S. 841) - the Fair Pay Restoration Act was introduced in the Senate by Hillary on April 19, 2005, and currently has 18 co-sponsors.
Senate Bill 766 (S. 766) - the Paycheck Fairness Act was introduced in the Senate by Hillary on March 6, 2007 and currently has 22 co-sponsors.
For those wondering what the wage gap is . . .
In 2007, white women earned 77 cents for every dollar a white man makes. For women of color, the wage disparity is even worse; African American women earned 68 cents and Latinas earned 57 cents.
