And over much of America, women are payed less even if they work the exact same job and have NOT taken time off to have families. Statisticians know how to control for these factors, and as Lilly Ledbetter found out, gender discrimination is real and exists, and hurts women badly. Conservatives are seriously on the wrong side of this one.
The following two quotes are from a 2009 study commissioned by the U.S. Department of labor.
“There are observable differences in the attributes of men and women that account for most of the wage gap. Statistical analysis that includes those variables has produced results that collectively account for between 65.1 and 76.4 percent of a raw gender wage gap of 20.4 percent, and thereby leave an adjusted gender wage gap that is between 4.8 and 7.1 percent.”
“However, despite these gains the raw wage gap continues to be used in misleading ways to advance public policy agendas without fully explaining the reasons behind the gap.”

Once again Obama and his minions are lying to the people in order to secure votes from the ignorant.
