AAUW and the Independent Women's Forum Debate the Wage Gap
The hosts play a debate between Erin Prangley of the AAUW and Sabrina Schaefer of the Independent Women's Forum regarding the Paycheck Fairness Act. Schaefer argues that when controlling for college majors and time spent in the workforce, the wage gap nearly disappears, leaving only a 5-7% unexplained difference. Curry asserts that the 77-cent statistic is a political tool used by the Democratic Party to manipulate female voters.
