“”If you doubt what I say, look to the World Economic Forum, hardly a hotbed of feminist thought,” said Clinton. “Their rankings show that the United States is 65th out of 142 nations and other territories on equal pay.””

“Clinton’s statistic, however, was derived from one of the sub-indexes in a World Economic Forum report that actually ranked the United States 20th overall.”

““Clinton can’t accurately claim that the U.S. ranks ’65th out of 142 nations and other territories on equal pay,” writes FactCheck.org’s Robert Farley. “Certainly not if she means equal pay for doing the same work.””
