Women are closing the income gap, a new study says. The Pew Research Center is out with a report today that young women Millennials – who’ve been entering the workforce for a decade – are better educated than their mothers and grandmothers. And, it’s paying off.

 
In 2012, according to the Pew survey, women workers 25 to 34 years old earned 93 percent of what men earned. (Among all working men and women, by contrast, women’s hourly wages were 84 percent of those of men.) This is the first time in modern history women start their working lives at near parity with men.
