The wage gap barely budged in over a decade and the latest data show that women working full time, year round only make 78 cents for every dollar a man makes.To give you an idea of how long ago that is, here are some things that were popular back in the early 2000's.
1. "Mean Girls" made its debut.
2. "Friends" was still on the air.
3. “Yeah!” by Usher topped the charts.
4. “Anchorman” was kind of a big deal.
5. Ashton Kutcher was punking Hollywood.
6. Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton let us tag along on “The Simple Life.”
7. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted Weekend Update.
It’s pretty clear from this nostalgia overload that times have changed.
It's pretty clear from this nostalgia overload that times have changed. If even Ashton "Trucker Hat" Kutcher can move on from the early 2000's, what's holding Congress back from taking measures to close the wage gap?
