Senate Democrats and Republicans Have Different Bills Aimed at Equal Pay For Women

Women make up nearly half of the U.S. labor force and a growing number are the breadwinners in their families-but still today they are making just 77-cents for every dollar a man makes-that's according to the U.S. Department of Labor.
