US EditionRep. Stubbs: Observes Black Women’s Equal Pay Day
UNITED STATES, JUL 10 – Black women earn only 64 cents for every dollar earned by white men due to occupational segregation and hiring discrimination, Equal Pay Today reports.
- On July 10, members of Congress including Rep. Alma Adams introduced the Black Women's Equal Pay Day Resolution in the U.S. House to highlight wage inequity.
- The resolution responds to persistent racial and gender pay gaps that force Black women to work past 191 days into 2025 to match white men’s 2024 earnings.
- Advocates highlight that Black women earn just 58% of what white men earn and encounter challenges like pay secrecy and being undervalued in lower-paying positions.
- The resolution states Black women lose more than $1 million over a 40-year career due to wage gaps, while leaders stress the need for pay transparency and workplace equity.
- This effort underscores ongoing inequities that limit Black women's economic security and calls for congressional action on fair wages, childcare access, and anti-discrimination enforcement.
