  • Equal Pay Day is Tuesday, April 4, 2017 Wear RED on Equal Pay Day to symbolize how far women and minorities are "in the red" with their pay! This date symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year.   “While the gender wage gap has narrowed, it has not changed statistically in the last year, according to data released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Sept. 13, 2016.  Based on the median earnings of all full-time, year-round workers in 2015, women now make 79.6 cents for every dollar men make, a change from 78.6 cents the previous year. Women’s earnings in 2015 were $40,742, while men’s were $51,212. Rounding off the figures shows women’s earnings now at 80 percent of men’s, compared to 79 percent last year.”
