Women in five states won’t achieve pay equity until the next century if current trends continue, according to a new report.
The wage gap between men and women in West Virginia, Utah, Louisiana, North Dakota and Wyoming is unlikely to close until 2100, 42 years after the gap is set to close for the whole U.S., according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research’s Status of Women in the States: 2015 project.
