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 a more accurate picture of how the gender pay gap impacts diverse communities. Taking a more inclusive approach ensures that we can advocate on behalf of all women in the workforce.
