The Issue America’s gender wage gap has been an increasingly hot topic in this political climate, perhaps peaking during the 2016 election cycle. There is still a strikingly noticeable gap between genders. In 2016, according to Census data, overall women make 80 cents to every white male dollar earned. Black and Latino women earned 63 and 54 cents to every white male dollar, respectively. And in 2015, Native American women made approximately 57.7 cents to every white male dollar for full-time jobs.
