Oct. 5 is Latina Equal Pay Day

Latina workers are among the most adversely affected by the gender pay gap. On average, they are paid just $0.52 for every dollar earned by white men.

The wage gap cannot be explained by education, experience or perceived choices. Even in states with large populations of Latinas in the workforce, rampant wage disparities persist, with devastating consequences for Latinas and their families.
