Today is Equal Pay Day, a reminder that there is still a significant pay gap between men and women in our country. The date represents how far into 2025 women would have to work on top of the hours they worked in 2024 simply to match what men were paid in 2024.

Despite pay discrimination becoming illegal over half a century ago, the pay gap between men and women persists—an inequity that continues to hurt our nation’s workers and our national economy.
