Pay Transparency and Equal Pay Day
Equal Pay Day originated in 1996 as a public awareness event to illustrate the gap between men's and women's wages. The date marking this year’s Equal Pay Day, April 2nd, symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what their male counterparts earned in the previous year. This means that almost one quarter into 2019, women finally earn what they would have earned three months prior had there not been obstacles that prevent women from earning incomes equal to men.
