You know
what they say: For every strong woman, there is a man who probably gets
paid more for doing the same job 🙄
Five decades after the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963, women, on
average, still make only 77 cents for every dollar men earn. And the gap
is even wider for women of color.
Or let me put it another way: Today is Equal Pay Day, signifying how far
in the calendar year women have to work to earn as much as men did in the
previous year.
Folks, it's March 14th, meaning it has taken women an extra 72
days to earn what men did in 2022. It's unacceptable. Equal work should
get equal pay.

eliminate wage discrimination, once and for all. I'm hoping you will join
me by signing on to my petition >>

Pay inequity affects not only women but also children, families, and our
economy. That’s why I’ve co-sponsored legislation to close the wage gap in
every Congress I've been part of.
Here in Wisconsin, working women do a little better than the national
average. We are paid about 86 cents on the dollar compared to men. But
that's hardly a cause for celebration when women and our families are
being shortchanged thousands of dollars a year and hundreds of thousands
of dollars over a lifetime.
We have made progress on this issue of fairness, but there's still a lot
of work ahead of us. More needs to be done to strengthen the economic
security of Wisconsin women and families, and passing the Paycheck
Fairness Act will help do that.
