Seven months ago, women marked Equal Pay Day—the day women had to work until in 2017 to earn what men did in 2016.。
The April 4 date was based on an average statistic—80 cents to the dollar—that lumps all women's earnings together. More than half a year later, Thursday marks Latina Equal Pay Day. 。
Latina women earn 54 cents for every dollar white men make. It takes just two months shy of two years for Latina women to earn what white men did in the single year prior. In other words, an extra 10 months. 。
