“Congrats, ladies! By today you’ve earned the same as men did in 2011. That gap means that the typical woman working full-time, year round, makes about 77 cents for every dollar a typical man does, and those missing 23 cents can really add up. In a year a woman loses $10,784 to a man – enough to buy about 2,700 gallons of gas. It can add up to a loss of $431,000 in pay for the typical woman over a 40-year career. No small chunk of pocket change.”
