Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day.

With Black women earning just 63 cents for every $1 earned by whole men, they lose over $900K through a 40-year career.

There are many reasons why the pay gap still exists, from unconscious bias, to the racial wealth gap, to Black women being the most likely to be burdened with student loans, to being responsible for the majority of both work and caregiving duties for their families.

A few ways companies help:

✅ Ensure equitable pathways to advancement.

✅ Don’t base compensation on salary history.

✅ Subsidize childcare.

We must work together to overcome this inequity.
