Today, March 24 is #EqualPayDay. #EqualPayDay2021 shows how far into the next year that the average woman must work to earn what white, non-Hispanic men earned in 2020. That means for every dollar a White, non-Hispanic man makes, women, on average, only earn 82 cents. That means if you look at a typical 9:00-5:00 work day, women start working for free at 2:40 p.m. Unite to support equal pay for women attorneys and ALL women in the workforce and closing the pay gap! #EqualPayDay #EqualPayDay2021 #CWL #CaliforniaWomenLawyers * Statistics are based on all U.S. women compared to all U.S. men based on 2019 U.S. Census data. The wage gap by demographic varies.

More than 50 years after the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, Latina's typically earn only 55 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men and must work nearly 23 months to earn what white men earn in 12 months. www.equalpaytoday.org #LatinaEqualPayDay
