David Jackson | USA TODAY

President Obama focuses Monday on women and the economy.

This morning, Obama will speak at a White House ceremony commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act.

Obama, who made women voters a key part of his campaign coalitions in 2008 and 2012, is expected to focus on continuing gaps in pay between men and women.

Also, this afternoon, Obama is slated to name White House aide Jason Furman as the next chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.

Obama also has a string of meetings Monday with advisers, including Vice President Biden.
