Equal Pay Day

March 15, 2022

Equal pay is a matter of justice, fairness, and dignity — it is about living up to our values and who we are as a Nation.

For over 25 years, Equal Pay Day has helped draw attention to gender-based pay disparities by highlighting how far into a new year a woman must work, on average, to earn what a man did in the previous year.

This year, Equal Pay Day falls on March 15, the earliest we have ever marked the occasion. To read "A Proclamation on National Equal Pay Day, 2022" from the White House, please click on the image below.
