According to new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2007 the ratio of women's to men's median annual earnings reached almost 78 cents on the dollar for full-time, year-round workers, up from just under 77 cents in 2006. This is the narrowest the wage gap has ever been, but it’s only an additional one cent on the dollar. One cent is chump change. It isn't real change.

While women have been hard at work to earn their extra penny, Congress has failed to pass legislation that would give women effective equal pay protections. In light of this development, tell Congress that passing the Paycheck Fairness Act is an urgent priority. Tell Congress: Keep the change until women have real change.
