The pay disparity between men and women has persisted for decades. Varying studies have reflected that women make somewhere around eighty cents for every dollar earned by a man.  An alarming new report by The Institute for Women’s Policy Research, however, shows a much more substantial disparity.  As reported by Vox:

“….The report’s authors looked at women’s earnings across a 15-year period, and compared those with men’s. What they found was a pay gap nearly twice as big as what’s traditionally reported: averaged out over 15 years, women made just 49 cents for every dollar men made.”

While pay discrimination has long been a problem, this study may cause many to take a second look at just how deep that discrimination goes.
