Signature Event

EQUAL PAY DAY

 April 20, 2010

 
Each year, WSBPW members and advocates across the country organize Equal Pay Day activities and events in April to bring attention to the issue of pay equity.

Equal Pay Day is held annually in April to signify the point into a year that a woman must work to earn what a man made the previous year.

Census statistics released in 2008 show that the gap between men's and women's earnings changed by less than one percent from 2006 to 2007, narrowing only slightly from 76.9 to 77.8 percent.

In 2007, the earnings for African American women was 68.7 percent of men's earnings, a drop of more than 3 percent; Asian American women's earnings was 89.5 percent of men's earnings, a drop of 3.5 percent; and Latina earnings was 59 percent of men's, a drop of .6 percent.
