Wage gap worse here than in 2000, report says

While American women overall are closing the wage gap with men, the situation in Wisconsin is worsening, according to a recent report.

“The State of Working Wisconsin 2006” by the Center on Wisconsin Strategy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in September found that women earned 25 percent less than men in 2005, a gap that actually increased from about 23 percent in 2000.
