March 14 marks Equal Pay Day for all women.
Some of the data reflecting these disparities were from as recently as last year.
The study also found that women were underrepresented in managerial positions at 42% compared to women in non-manager roles at 48%. "It’s unfair that there’s no equal pay and sometimes they base it on sex or race. It should be what you’re capable of like performing," a business owner said."Compared to white male managers, the pay for female managers ranged from 51 cents for native Hawaiian and other pacific island women to a low of 14 cents for Asian women in 2021," Thomas Costa, director for GAO’s education, workforce and income security team, explained.
"We need to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment and it would help to ensure women have equal opportunity to pursue their aspirations, goals and their happiness," said Moloney.
