"Closing the Gender Pay Gap: Addressing Inequality in 2024"
TL;DR Summary
On Equal Pay Day, it's revealed that women working in the White House under President Biden earned 80 cents for every $1 men earned in 2023, wider than the national average. The pay gap was even wider in the Trump administration. Despite Biden's advocacy for pay equity, targeted legislation has not been passed. The concentration of women in lower-paid jobs contributes to the wage gap, reflecting a broader workforce phenomenon. Biden has made efforts to improve equity in the federal workforce, but challenges remain in addressing pay parity.
