Because traditionally the men were the bread winners, and it was thought that the person supporting the family should get paid more while another who was not necessarily known to be supporting the family should get less. This is untrue logic for not all men and women support or don't support a family, but it's what happend :(
Men and women in the same job have equal pay because that is their right
Bad answer above. The Equal PAy Act applied to very few US workers. Men and women DO earn the same in the same occupations with the same seniority, because sex matters little in job performance. Skill and strength often matter.
Sex matters greatly in choosing an occupations. Women prefer occupations they can leave and return to over their careers, like teacher, nurse, or cook, rather than occupations one must exercise every year or fall behind, like engineer, scientist, or cop. Women DO leave the workforce and properly fall behind those with more experience and seniority in the same occupatioin.
The short answer is yes. Recent numbers look to be around 80 cents for every dollar a man makes.
No objective study in the last 20 years has found that women get paid less than men FOR THE SAME JOBS under the same circumstances, with the same qualifications and experience.
People get confused because the AVERAGE female worker earns less than the AVERAGE male worker, since the two sexes do not work the same occupations.

What made it illegal for an employer to pay a women less than men?
It was called the Equal Rights Amendment. It never got ratified so it was not really made into law. It is now before the Congress and President Obama. He want it to be passed and ratified. The women of the US do not have equal pay. I worked in a company doing the same exact job as another man. The company was an insurance company that was dominated by women employees. He worked in my unit. There were twelve women in my unit and the one man. He was paid more than we were. When I asked the female supervisor why he received more pay her answered shocked me. She said it was because he was the primary bread winner for his family and he needed the higher salary. This was in a unit with four or five women who were the sole bread winners for their kids. They did not get paid what he was paid. So this is still a problem that needs to be resolved in this nation. This is supposed to be a nation of meritocracy. Where merit determines who gets paid better not by gender.In shorter words it is sexist.
