via the New York Times Economix blog comes this chart from recent census data on the economic disparity gaps between men and women. As a whole, women make 77.9% of what men make. In the 21st Century. C+ equality! I guess that means we probably don't have to do anything else besides making it easier to sue after income disparity is discovered. Dust off those hands boys, our work is done.
Good news though, if you're a woman and lucky enough to live in DC, you get to make 88% of what a man does, with NY, California, Arizona, and Maryland close behind. If you want to live where women make more than men, you either need furtive imaginations or a desire to live in Puerto Rico, where women make 101.1% of what men make.
Unfortunately, if you're a woman living in Wyoming then you have to deal with the fact that you live in Wyoming. But in addition to that, you suffer the worst pay disparity at 64.3% and you are also subject to regulations that state that Dick Cheney can hunt you for sport if he is displeased with the meal he is legally authorized to demand from any of age woman in the state. That's just adding insult to injury.
