Today is Latina Equal Pay Day! Did you know that Latina women who work full time, year round, and part time earn only 53 cents for every $1 earned by a white male? For full-time, year-round workers, the wage gap is 60 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. This means, on average, that Latina workers stand to lose about 1.2 million over the course of a 40-year career due to the wage gap. These disparities are a clear reflection of the economic hurdles Latinas continue to face.The U.S. Census Bureau is proposing a rule to remove race and ethnicity questions from the 2030 Census, threatening the data we need to fight for pay equity. We must protect these surveys and ensure every voice is counted. Take action by submitting your comment before the November 2, 2026 deadline with @equalpay2dayorg link in bio
