Equal pay has been the law since 1963. But today, more than 40 years later, women are still paid less than men—even when women have similar education, skills and experience.

The latest available data shows women are paid 77 cents for every dollar men receive. For every $100 worth of work we do, that's $23 less to spend on groceries, housing, child care and other expenses. Nationwide, working families lose $200 billion of income annually to the wage gap.

Over a lifetime of work, the 23 cents on the dollar women are losing adds up. On average, a 25-year-old working woman will lose about $455,000 to unequal pay during her working life.
