Today, on average, a woman earns 79 cents for every dollar a man earns, and womenâs median annual earnings are $10,800 less than menâs, according to a report released by the Senate Joint Economic Committee Democratic Staff last April.
In the first quarter of 2014 â Jan. 1 through March 31 â the median income for women was $716 a week; for men, $867.

At that rate, that works out to a difference of about $7,500 between men and womenâs median annual income for 2014.
