In response to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics which says the
pay gap has narrowed one cent to 78 cents on the dollar, AAUW is
launching a new grassroots campaign with a clear message
Keep the Change until Women Have Real Change
While this is the narrowest the wage gap has ever been its still only an
additional one cent on the dollar. While women have been hard at work to
earn their extra penny, Congress has failed to pass legislation that would give
women effective equal pay protections. In light of this development, AAUW
and our friends will tell Congress: Keep the Change until Women Have Real
Change.
