This Equal Pay Day, there’s nothing equal about it.
Equal Pay Days across regions symbolize how far into the next year women on average work to earn what men earned in the previous year.
On average, women make 88 cents for every $1.00 men make. But there’s more than one gap – there are gender pay gaps.
Gender pay gaps affect all ages and they accumulate.
It starts in youth summer jobs, impacts student loan debt, and contributes to a gender pension gap.
The gaps are closing, the but the pace is glacial.
I am aware that Equal Pay Days serve as a metaphor for how long it takes women, on average, to earn what men did the prior year. I’ve learned that I’m paid less than my coworkers who do the same job functions and have equivalent credentials and experience, which is why I want to employ a lawyer to demand equal compensation. I think it’s crucial to fight for equal pay and make sure that gender-based pay inequalities are addressed and eliminated.
