Governor Bullock’s Equal Pay Task Force moving dial on fair pay

What would you do with $11,197? Pay a mortgage, rent, bills or student loans? Save for your child’s college tuition? Maybe you would use it for everyday items like groceries or child care?

The reality is that if you are an average full-time, year-round working woman in Montana you don’t see that money. As a result of the wage gap, full-time Montana women workers make an average annual salary of $32,293 compared to men’s $43,490.
