Equal Pay Day 2023
Today, March 14 is Equal Pay Day 2023.
If you are the average of all working women in the U.S., TODAY is the day that you’ve earned as much as the average working man did last year.
The gender pay gap, when expressed in actual time worked, is as real as a slap in the face.
According to the AAUW (American Association of University Women) “Women working full-time, year-round are paid 84 cents, and all earners (including part-time and seasonal) are paid 77 cents for every dollar paid to men.”
Here’s a breakdown by ethnic group:
“Black Women’s Equal Pay Day is July 27. Black women working full-time, year-round are paid 67 cents and all earners (including part-time and seasonal) are paid 64 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men.
