Barack Obama: "Women (are) paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men."

PolitiFact - By Louis Jacobson - Jun. 21 (Fact Check) - President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign released a new ad aimed at women on June 21, 2012. Here’s the narration: "The son of a single mom, proud father of two daughters, President Obama knows that women being paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men isn't just unfair, it hurts families. So the first law he signed was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act to help ensure that women are paid the same as men for doing the exact same work. Because President Obama knows that fairness for women means a stronger middle class for America." In this item, we're checking the claim that "women (are) paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men." The 77 cent figure has become a rallying cry for those who seek to eliminate employment discrimination based on gender. And it’s a genuine statistic. In a report released in September 2011, the U.S. Census Bureau wrote that in 2010, the female-to-male earnings ratio of full-time, year-round workers was 0.77." Translated into dollars, that means that in 2010, women working full-time earned 77 cents for every dollar earned by men working full time.
