Help us highlight pay disparities on Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Women’s Equal Pay Day (AANHPI), which takes place on Monday, April 7.
AANHPI Women’s Equal Pay Day denotes how far into the new year AANHPI women must work to be paid what non-Hispanic white men were paid the previous year. AANHPI women working full-time, year-round are paid 97 cents and all earners (including part-time and seasonal) are paid 83 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men. However, pay disparities are more pronounced for Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) women. NHPI women working full-time, year-round are paid 65 cents and all earners (including part-time and seasonal) are paid 61 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men.
