A woman’s lifetime
earning power
equals her lifetime
buying power.
Tuesday, April 4, 2017 is
Equal Pay Day,
the symbolic day when
American women’s pay “catches
up” to what men took home by
December 31 of the previous
year. The date represents the fact
that women working full time,
year-round in the United States
are typically paid just 80 percent
of what men are paid.
At the current rate, the gender
pay gap won’t close until 2152 —
and we’re not happy about it!
Mission: AAUW advances
equity for women and girls
through advocacy, education
and research.
