Ugh. The Typical Working Woman Has Lost More Than $500,000 Over The Course Of Her Lifetime As A Result Of The Gender-Pay Gap

The typical woman born between 1955 and 1959 has lost $531,502 in cumulative lifetime earnings because of America’s gender-pay gap, according to a new  report from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research.

Losses from the gap accumulate over the course of a woman’s lifetime, and each year represented tens of thousands of lost dollars, the group says.
