Started by the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) in 1996, the goal of Equal Pay Days is to raise awareness about the ongoing gender pay gap and how the pay gap varies significantly among different communities, particularly for women of color.

Gender Pay Gap Data

The Equal Pay Day Calendar encompasses a cross-section of women, including those who work part-time or seasonally, to represent how the gender pay gap impacts diverse communities. A more inclusive approach ensures that we can advocate on behalf of all women in the workforce.

• Disabled working women (including seasonal and part-time workers) are paid, on average, 50 cents for every dollar paid to non-disabled men and 72 cents for every dollar paid to disabled men in 2023.
• Latinas working full-time, year-round were paid 58 cents, and all earners (including part-time and seasonal) were paid 51 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic white men in 2023.
