COMMENTS: The Half Million Dollar Glass Ceiling
A day later than Dan Harris at ABC, NBC's Michelle Kosinski caught up with the class action lawsuit by women workers alleging gender bias against Walmart.

Kosinski quoted an estimate from the Institute for Women's Policy Research that compared an average man and an average woman--not just at Walmart but across all occupations--over a four-decade career of full-time work: that woman is underpaid (or that man is overpaid) by $500,000.
