Handy map to find the gender wage gap by your congressional district [View all]

http://www.nationalpartnership.org/site/PageServer?pagename=issues_work_epd_map

An unprecedented analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data shows that the gender-based wage gap affects women in nearly every corner of the country. In 97 percent of congressional districts — 423 out of 435 districts — the median yearly pay for women is less than the median yearly pay for men. This is the first-ever analysis of these data by congressional district, providing a unique opportunity for women, families and lawmakers to consider the local impact of disparities in pay.


Here in FL-19, it's 86%, with $6,185 lost in yearly earnings.
