I just want to say something.
You know, for every dollar a man makes
A woman makes 63 cents.
Now, fifty years ago that was 62 cents.
So, with that kind of luck,
It'll be the year 3, 888
Before we make a buck.

Assuming the song was written in 1988, it would have been the year 3838, not 3888, before wage equality was reached. Anyway, the main difficulty here lies in having only two samples, which gives no clue about a suitable forecasting model.
