This is from Slate, a very liberal magazine.
Gender pay gap: The familiar line that “women make 77 cents to every man’s dollar” simply isn’t accurate.
The truth is, saying women make 77 cents for every dollar men make, such as what Obama referenced in the SOTU, is a very crude way of analyzing the facts. There is no such thing as "equal pay for equal work", but the gap is a lot closer than what is being put out there, and there is little evidence to suggest that is due to sexism.
Here is another article from The Daily Beast on this as well: No, Women Don
