M.I.A.

actually it's...3 months and 19 days later than my male counter part- but i made it!

On average, women make only 76 cents for every dollar earned by men. To match men's earnings for 2004, women have to work from Jan. 1, 2004, to April 19, 2005 on extra four months.

so courtney (affectionately known as "court") and i go to a Women in Film Dallas presentation of pay inequity. we, as always, find ourselves having a goodtime. we go (for the food) to be supportive of issues important to us and because (of the food- mmmm cheesecake squares...) it is informative. (the websites features some fun candid pix- page one has what appears to be the 'meredith OH face' and page two has my ass...) http://www.wifdallas.org/index.asp

here are some of the neat stats:
state: she makes $.XX to every $1 he makes
TX: $.76 (surprisingly to me- in the top third)
KS: $.73 (i think this is close thanks to unions...)
CA: $.79
IL: $.69 (surprisingly low to me!!!)
WY: $.63 (the worst!)
D.C.: $.80 (the best!)
