Help us draw attention to wage disparities on Moms’ Equal Pay Day on Tuesday, May 6.
Moms’ Equal Pay Day is an opportunity to shed light on the persistent wage gap experienced by mothers in the workplace. The statistics speak volumes: moms working full-time, year-round are paid 74 cents and all earners (including part-time and seasonal) are paid 62 cents for every dollar paid to working fathers.
Moms are the backbone of our society, dedicating their time and effort to both their families and their careers. Yet, pay discrimination, caregiver discrimination, and lack of paid leave in many of the jobs held by women continue to hold them back, impacting their economic security and future opportunities.
Please join us as we continue to stand up for equal pay on May 6!
