New research released in April 2007 by the American Association of University Women Educational Foundation shows that just one year out of college, women working full time already earn less than their male colleagues, even when they work in the same field. Ten years after graduation, the pay gap widens.

 View a sampling of Behind the Pay Gap media coverage.
Includes coverage on popular national TV shows such as Good Morning America, Anderson Cooper 360, and CBS The Early Show.
