...But Leber said the 77 percent statistic is often misused.

“Sometimes people say this 77 cents is for people doing the same work, and it’s not,” she said.

The statistic is often cited by Democrats as evidence of pay disparity. Republicans used a similar statistic to point out the aggregate pay disparity in the White House. A study by the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, found that women in the White House make 88 percent of what men make in the White House.
