Even in 2023, women are still compensated less for doing the same work as their male counterparts.
Equal Pay Day marks how many extra days the average woman must work to finally earn what the average man earned in the previous year. This year, it fell on March 14th – meaning it took women an additional 72 days of work to make up the wage gap.
That’s unacceptable. I’ll keep working to ensure equal pay for equal work, regardless of gender.
