Economic Report:

Women and men working in the federal government have come a few cents closer toward pay equality. According to the Government Accountability Office, men made on average 19 cents more on the dollar than women in 1998 and now, a decade later, they only make 11 cents more. The shrinkage is substantial considering two decades ago in 1988 women earned 28 cents on the dollar less than male co-workers.
