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.

1. It's about the same, 85%, here in NM1

It's much worse in the more rural part of the states where women are robbed of wages with impunity.

Still, the dollar amount here is much lower than the dollar amount back in Boston, although the percentage was nearly the same.
