Women gained roughly seven cents on the dollar over the ten-yeperiod, according to the CensuB Bureaus long form. The figure does not necessarily mean that women arc being paid less than inen for doing the same job. Instead, theccnsus looked at ear nings in e 1999 for workers in all industries and found that the national median income for men waa $36,922 and $26,292 for women. "I would say we have a long way to go toward closing the gap, Baid Marianne Hill, an economist for the Mississippi Institutions of Higher Learning. Experts said the main reasons for the wage gap are that women often take time offto have children and lose experience and pay because of it; that women often choose such as teaching and social work; and that women are discriminated against when it cornea to promotions and raises. Karen Nuasbaum, assistant to the in Washington, preaidentofAFL-CIsaid a recent study by her group attributed about halfofthe wage gap to discrimination. A big reason for the narrowing of the gap waa that many g manufacturingjobs held by men were lost aa the industry declined in recent years, she said. Colin Bennett, a labor economist for the Employment Policy Foundation , agreed that women face discrimi- nation but said the gap ia mm complicated than bias. A lot of demo- graphic factors are involved," he said. Th disparity ranged from women earning 63 centson the dollar in Wyoming, where the traditionally male mining and oil industries dominate, to 90 cents on the dollar in Washington, D.C. where women are more likely g than men to hold government jobs. Bennett projected that the wage gap could close within 30 years as g women continue entering jobs and child care becomes more evenly split between parents. Nussbaum disagreed, pointing toa recent congressional study that said women professionals and managers had lost ground in the past five years.

"We pay city taxes and we feel the city should help us do something with it Were willingtohelp the city, said subdivision resident Garry Rohrer. Developer John Wills owns 16 of the 37 lots and said he favors paving the roads, but does want to see what the repayment costs will be.
