The purpose of this paper is to discuss the current state of gender wage discrimination in the US. Firstly, Firstly, this paper discusses the current status of gender wage discrimination. Secondly, a discussion and analysis is done to ascertain if equality occurs. Thirdly, this paper will analyse current trends that are slowly allowing women to close this gap. Finally, this paper discusses future implications on the gender wage issue in the US. Overall, gender pay equality for all Americans will happen one day in the future, but from the way it is moving, it is not any time soon.
