Did you know that in the United States, women earn only 82 cents for every dollar earned by men? And the pay gap is even wider for women of color, with Black women earning only 63 cents and Latinas earning just 55 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. But it's not just statistics that show the reality of the pay gap. In 2021, the U.S. women's national soccer team sued the U.S. Soccer Federation for gender discrimination, citing pay disparities and other unequal treatment. This high-profile case brought the issue of gender pay discrimination to the forefront of public discussion. In this episode, we'll be examining how race/ethnicity, age, disabilities, and other factors impact the pay gap, and what steps we can take to close it. Don't miss this important and timely discussion on gender pay discrimination. Statistics Source: National Women's Law Center
