For the second year in a row, women have lost ground.
Women working full-time year-round earn 81 cents for every dollar men earn.
That's down three cents over the past couple years.
Now, the latest data compiled by the Census Bureau is actually from 2024.
So the widening of the gender wage gap can't be explained by anything that's happened since President Trump returned to office.
And in fact, former President Biden was supportive of pay equity efforts.

The gender pay gap is even wider for women of color.
Black women's equal payday will be marked in July, Latina equal payday in October.
