It
is absolutely ridiculous that the White House recently announced an
initiative to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act
to help women during this lousy economy. First of all, it’s already
illegal to pay people based on gender criteria. Second, during this

are doing much better than men in terms of job loss. And third,
there simply is no longer a salary gap between men and women.
Yes, you read that correctly. This is not a controversial statement. Or at least it shouldn’t be. It was just on the cover of the Economist in an article that asserted at least 15 times that a salary gap in America is gone. And many major U.S. news outlets have reported that women in their 20s are out-earning their male counterparts in large cities, which is not surprising because women are doing better in school than men are.
