America's gender pay gap has shrunk to its lowest level on record because women are better educated and more are putting off having children, experts say. Figures from the U.S. Labor Department show the average female worker now earns 84 cents for every $1 a man makes for similar work. This is up from 62 cents to the dollar in 1979 - when the agency first started tracking the data. The trend is reportedly being driven by several factors, including women putting off having children and more females entering historically male-dominated fields.
