Is Pay Transparency a 'Thing' in Your Workplace?

Equal Pay Day, which falls on April 10th this year, is the approximate date when the average American woman's earnings finally catch up to what the average man earned in the previous year. (In other words, it takes women over 16 months to earn what men earn in 12 months.)

And when you break it down by race, the gap widens.

Joi Chaney, Executive Director and Campaign Manager of the Equal Pay Today campaign, suggests a few ways for employees to put pressure on employers to honor pay transparency, agree to self-audits, and ensure a more equitable workplace.

Based on ACS Census Data, the 2018 wage gap between women and men is $0.80. That gap widens for women of color.
