Find the Gender Pay Gap in Your Congressional District

Pay gap information is easy to find in these state-by-state documents, which include the state pay gap number; the congressional district pay gap numbers; rankings of the state’s congressional districts from narrowest to widest gap; and a road map to pay equity that includes needed state and federal actions. Each state’s document is intended to serve as an advocacy tool in the ongoing fight to close the persistent gender pay gap.

Take Action: You Don’t Have to Stand for the Pay Gap

Use these documents – and the data within – as a springboard to write a letter to the editor or an op-ed calling for members of Congress to take action on the pay gap. Even members of Congress who support equal pay legislation have more to do. The pay gap exists nationwide for all women at all points in their careers and is even worse for women of color. It is clearly not going to close on its own. You can check last year’s numbers for further evidence.
