GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- A new study claims one West Michigan area may have the biggest gender pay gaps in the United States.

The study found that the Grand Rapids/ Wyoming metro area ranks fifth in the top 10 metro areas with the biggest pay gap.

Regardless of the profession, women working in this area make less than 65% of men's earnings.
