Women today in developed markets may be the first to see the pay gap close in their lifetimes, according to Accenture's "Getting to Equal" report and other similar reports that analyzed pay gaps across the globe. But when and how are the real questions.

In New Mexico, the gender pay gap was projected to close in 2056, which was the 18th fastest rate, according to a study reviewed by The Washington Post. Florida was projected to close the gap by 2038 and Wyoming was last with a projected close in 2159.

Albuquerque was ranked number one in a gender pay gap study that analyzed the 100 largest U.S. metros. The difference between men and women in education was 1.15 percent and the difference in homeownership was 1.18 percent. Overall, the change in median pay gap from 2008 to 2015 went down 25 percent in Albuquerque. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, women in New Mexico made 82 cents for every dollar a man made in 2013. That figure fell to 78.1 cents in 2014, ranking the state 31st in the country for its pay gap. Click here to read the full article and reports.
