You can thank greedy corporate bastards and the GOP for that.

Texas working women earned 84.8 percent as much as their male counterparts in 2011, slightly less than 85.6 percent the year before but still well above the national median of 82.2 percent and better than in neighboring states, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Tuesday.

That percentage has generally trended upward in Texas since 1997, the federal bureau said. It was around 83 percent from 2003 to 2009 before climbing sharply in 2010, it said.
