Wednesday was Latina Equal Pay Day—the day that the average Latina worker must work in this calendar year to catch up with what their white, non-Hispanic male counterparts made in the previous year alone. From MonicaRamirezOH & swilliamsERA:
On Wednesday, people across the country gathered around their televisions to watch another installment of the democratic process, as the 2020 Presidential Candidates took the stage to make their case for why they should be the new leader of our nation. This debate was different than those before it: this debate was moderated by a panel made up entirely of women.Latina Equal Pay Day
To question the usefulness of collecting data that breaks down pay information by race, gender, and ethnicityby an agency that was literally designed to protect and investigate complaints about race, gender and ethnicity discrimination in the workplaceis extremely flawed, and runs counter to the purpose of the EEOC, which is to protect civil rights.
Having to wait until just weeks from 2020 to make what white men were paid in 2018 alone more than shows the usefulness of the data that the EEOC plans to disregard. Because of the wage gap that Latinas experience, the average Latina worker stands to lose $1,121,440 over the course of her 40 year career.
