Editorial: Equal pay for women across Missouri and Illinois districts
The editorial notes Missouri 2nd District has the largest gender pay gap among nine districts, with women earning about 68 cents per dollar in Todd Akin's West County-St. Charles area, and Illinois 12th District at 67 cents. It cites the National Partnership for Women & Families, calls pay discrimination persistent, and urges passage of the Paycheck Fairness Act. It compares state medians: Missouri women $33,865 vs men $43,146. Illinois women $39,150 vs men $50,746. It argues party lines do not determine pay gaps and urges action nearly 50 years after the Equal Pay Act.
