SALT LAKE CITY — Women in Utah working full-time, year-round, still earn significantly less than men — about 73 cents for every dollar earned. Nationally, that number is closer to 83 cents, but here the gap is even wider, according to a report by Utah State University's Women & Leadership Project.

For BriAnn Rachele, a director at a business consulting firm in Salt Lake City, the reality of that gap didn't hit until years into her career. "It's really frustrating," Rachele told FOX 13 News.

She only started to recognize the inequities after comparing her pay to male colleagues — some with less experience than her, she said. "I have been in other positions at other companies where I have felt that I've been mistreated in that way," she said. " I didn't know that until after I had left."
