Reminder: Today isn’t Equal Pay Day for all women. via CNBCMakeIt
This year, April 2 marks Equal Pay Day, the time a woman has to work into the new year to symbolically achieve the same pay a man earned the previous year.
Kim Churches, CEO of the American Association of University Women, says that Equal Pay Day is a date that has been marked by The National Committee on Pay Equity since 1996 and it marks the wages of all women working full-time to all men working full-time. The date, she says, is always on a Tuesday because that is approximately"how far into the week women work to catch up to men."
"There are a lot of reasons why this gap remains," Elise Gould, senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute, told CNBC Make It last year,"and there is certainly room for some of that to be discrimination." Research shows that white job applicants receive 36 percent more callbacks than equally qualified African-Americans, and 24 percent more callbacks than Latinos. A poll by NPR found that one-third of Native Americans say they have experienced discrimination when looking for a job, getting a promotion or earning equal pay.
"For most organizations, this would require a shift that goes beyond diversity committees and affinity groups," says Crooms-Robinson about creating professional cultures in which women of color are hired, promoted and treated equally."Committed organizational leadership at the very highest level is essential to make such a significant culture shift."
