Signature Event

EQUAL PAY DAY

 April 2009

 
Each year, BPW/USA 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. According to the 2006 Census Bureau, women on average earn 77 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts. For women of color, the wage gap worsens: African American women make 66 cents, Latinas make 55 cents and Asian American women make 80 cents.
