The goal of achieving wage equality has been a long journey for women in the United States and in review of historic data trends, it can be concluded that it will take a few more generations before payrolls no longer reflect income disparity between genders. American women celebrated the historic day when President John F. Kennedy signed “The Equal Pay Act of 1963”on June 10, 1963, a United States labor law amending the Fair Labor Standards Act that aimed to abolish wage disparity based on sex and insure equal wages for women across the nation. This action set the foundation for the era when women would have the opportunity to select their own careers and advance financially alongside their male peers. Yet after more than five decades, the goal of wage equality continues to be a distant, unattainable goal. While some strides have been made to equalize pay for a small percentage of working women, the overall wages for American females tops out at .805 cents relative to each $1.00 earned by male workers. As this progression toward closing the wage gap has slowed in recent years due to various economic, social and leadership challenges of the nation, it is expected that equal wages between the sexes will not be achieved until the year 2119, a total of 156 years after the bill was initially signed into law. 1 Based on the following information, it should be noted that evidence of the benefits intended under the Act for wage equality could not be found for 30 years after the signing of the legislation in 1985 when wage disparity rate decreased slightly from the level in 1955.
