(NEXSTAR) – The years go on, yet one societal problem remains relatively unchanged: the wage gap between men and women. A recent Pew Research Center analysis found the pay gap has stayed stubbornly stable for the past 20 years. MoneyGeek, a personal finance site, used data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Census Bureau's 2021 American Community Survey to determine where the pay gap is worst in the U.S. What's the gender wage gap in Denver?The Denver-Aurora-Lakewood metropolitan area ranked 65 on the list, with women ages 30-49 earning 84% of what their age earned. The study shows the wage gap seems to be improving for younger generations. Women 50 and older in the Denver metro area earned just 75% of their male counterparts, while those aged 16-29 earned 95% of what men make.Here are how other Colorado cities ranked among the 262 metropolitan areas:Colorado Springs: 82%, ranking 111thFort Collins: 79%, ranking 164thGrand Junction: 77%, ranking 190thPueblo: 84%, ranking 57...

PARIS — A controversial video surveillance system cleared a legislative hurdle Wednesday to be used during the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics amid opposition from left-leaning French politicians and digital rights NGOs, who argue it infringes upon privacy standards. The National Assembly’s law committee approved the system, but also voted to limit the temporary program’s duration until December 24, 2024, instead of June 2025. The plan pitched by the French government includes experimental large-scale, real-time camera systems supported by an algorithm to spot suspicious behavior, including unsupervised luggage and alarming crowd movements like stampedes.  Earlier this week, civil society groups in France and beyond — including La Quadrature du Net, Access Now and Amnesty International — penned an op-ed in Le Monde raising concerns about what they argued was a “worrying precedent” that France could set in the EU. There’s a risk that the measures, pitched a...

The counterclockwise flow continues to rotate in cloud cover and spot showers. The overall setup won’t change much tomorrow, so we’ll keep some clouds and the breeze around.Heading out the door tomorrow morning, temperatures will be in the upper 20s/near 30°.
