LATINA PAY EQUITY
BLACK WOMEN PAY EQUITY
The gender pay gap is more than just a statistic – it affects real women and real families. The gender pay gap causes real damages and perpetuates income inequality for women of color. Black Women and Latinas would be making $20,876 to $26,095 more on average each year if there were no gender pay gap. This adds up to 3 to 4 years' worth of food for their families, approximately 11,000 more gallons of gas, or up to 30 more months of rent each year. Black Women or Latinas could move from one socioeconomic tier to another with this money.
Each Equal Pay Day represents the amount of time into the NEXT YEAR that a woman in each group would have to work to earn the same amount of money a non-Hispanic white man earned the previous year. On average, Latinas and Native Women working full time in New York State are paid 55 percent of what white, non-Hispanic men are paid and Black Women working full time in New York State are paid 65 percent of what white non-Hispanic men are paid.

Library Hold This Book A potent and electrifying critique of today's feminist movement announcing a fresh new voice in black feminism. “In theory, public housing and section 8 programs should be closing the pay gap—that is, after all, their are purpose. Yet families are back to having to share small units in defiance of occupancy codes because of cost. Tetris is a game meant to be played with blocks, not people. And the affordable housing crisis disproportionately impacts women. With the pay gap, women earn less, so they pay more proportionately, and that intern means household supported by women are paying larger-than-average proportions of income toward rent.” |
