#LatinaEqualPayDay Did you know Latinas lose nearly $1.3 million over their careers due to the wage gap? This is more than just a statistic—it’s a barrier to economic mobility and security. Despite contributing significantly to the U.S. economy, Latinas continue to face persistent wage disparities. In 2023, the average Latina working full-time, year-round earned just 58 cents for every dollar paid to a white, non-Hispanic man. This gap widens further when part-time and part-year workers are included, with Latinas earning only 51 cents for every dollar. To close this wage gap, we must invest in economic and social infrastructure and improve protections for Latinas, who continue to be stranded at the intersection of racial, ethnic, and gender inequities. This Hispanic Heritage Month, let's not just celebrate Latinas' contributions. Let’s ensure they are paid fairly. #LatinasLead #HispanicHeritageMonth #LatinaEqualPayDay #EqualPayDay - - - Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gasZzbiK Learn more about how the LLI is supporting Latina leaders here: Latinoslead.org
