We must close this gender gap

In signing the equal payday law or whatever it was, President Obama said of something, “It’s not fair” and “That’s not right,” something about women making 77 percent of what a man makes. Well, here is a statistic we must, must, do something about:

92% of work-related deaths in 2012 were to men.
