Massachusetts expands equal-pay-for-equal-work law 

Governor Charlie Baker signed into law a measure that mandates equal pay for comparable work. The “comparable” term is important because it makes a significant change to the existing equal pay for equal work by gender law. But there may also be some unplanned advantages to minority workers as well.

On Equal Pay Day, Let's Stand Up for Working Women, Families and Our Economy

ICYMI:

This Equal Pay Day it is time to take decisive action to close the wage gap that still exists between women and men. Why is Equal Pay Day marked every April? Because currently a woman has to work a year and three months into the next year just to earn what a man earns in one year.

- Rep. Jan Schakowsky via Huffington Post.

Gender Pay Equity. Eliminating the wage gap that limits women’s earnings is essential to helping our daughters and granddaughters save for their own retirement. Congress should strengthen and reform the “Equal Pay Act” by putting an end to pay secrecy, strengthening workers’ ability to challenge discrimination and bringing equal pay law into line with other civil rights laws.

It’s been more than 50 years since our nation acknowledged and attempted to address, with passage of the Equal Pay Act, the gender wage gap which unfairly targets half of our population with billions in lost wages. Yet, at the current rate of change, it will take another 40 years to close that gap.

Yes, the Gender Wage Gap Is Real, New Report Says

A major research report out Thursday from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) aims to inform the national discussion about workplace policies with a new analysis showing the gender wage gap is real.

“We’re basically saying we’ve measured it a lot of different ways, and it exists, and it’s real, and unfortunately it has not gone away,” said Elise Gould, an economist with the nonpartisan Washington, D.C.-based think tank EPI, in a phone interview with Rewire.

The truth about the gender wage gap

Women earn 79 cents on the dollar compared with men. But the gender wage gap is much, much more than one number.
Sarah Kliff

Nearly 10,000 people graduated with MBAs from University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business between 1990 and 2006.

In 2009, three economists decided to study a quarter of those graduates. They asked a detailed set of questions about the jobs they’d held since graduation, how many hours they worked, where they worked, and what they had earned each year.

The Wage Gap Is Stagnant for a Decade

Women who work full time, year round are typically paid only 80 cents for every dollar paid to their male counterparts. This gap in earnings translates into $10,470 less in median annual earnings, leaving women and their families shortchanged. The wage gap is even more substantial when race and gender are considered together, with African American women typically making only 63 cents, Latina women only 54 cents, and Native American women only 58 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. While Asian American women experience a smaller wage gap, they still make only 85 cents for every dollar made by white non-Hispanic men. Although enforcement of the Equal Pay Act and other civil rights laws has helped narrow the wage gap over time, closing the remaining gap is crucial for women and their families.

National Equal Pay Day 2019 reminds us that gender pay equity is crucial not only for social justice, but for women’s retirement security. When women earn less than men (currently, only 80 cents on the dollar), they cannot afford to save sufficient money for retirement – and their Social Security benefits are lower.

In 2016, the average annual Social Security income received by women 65 years and older was $13,891, compared to $17,663 for men. – National Committee Social Security Fact Sheet

Women take more time off work to care for family members, but don’t get credit for it in their Social Security earnings history. On average, women outlive men by five years – forcing them to stretch their retirement dollars over a longer span of time. That’s one reason why 11% of senior women live in poverty – an unacceptable number in the wealthiest country on earth.
