Wage Gap Continues LARAMIE, WY (wpr) - New statistics show that Wyoming continues to have the worst gender wage gap in the country. An economist who has studied the issue is hopeful that efforts by the state to get women more non-traditional jobs could close the gap. U-W researcher Anne Alexander says the focus by state officials to specifically get those working two and three jobs into one non-traditional job would help dramatically.
But Alexander says helping women start their own businesses is also critical, along with enhanced overall economic development in the state.
