OUR IMPACT | Equal pay
Equal Pay Day for all women should be on December 31, but unfortunately, it isn’t. The average woman must work far into the next year to earn what a man earned in the prior year. Equal Pay Day marks how far women (asian, white, Black, and Latina) work after the close of a calendar year in order to make what men made in the previous one.
For asian women, that day typically occurs in February.
For white women, it’s April.
For Black women, it’s August.
For native american women, it’s September.
For Latinas, it’s November.
To illustrate the enormous disparities in equal pay through an intersectional lens and to encourage social media sharing, we built a microsite day counter.
