Today is Equal Pay Day, and it exists to bring attention to the issue of equal pay discrepancies that exist between genders and ethnicities. But the date itself is symbolic as it represents how far into the year women, on average, need to work to earn what men earned in the previous year, given that on average women make 80% of their male counterparts.
Furthermore, that wage gap is exacerbated for women of color as reported by the American Association of University Women (AAUW), who have outlined and laid out that Black women earn 63% of what white men were paid last year, Hispanic women 54%, Asian women earn 87%. The World Economic Forum suggests that women will not reach pay equity with men for another 200 years should the current state of things go unchanged.
Clearly things must change, and that’s why many brands today are doing a part in it. Squarespace, is too.
