DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Did you know that on average for every dollar a man makes in this country a woman takes home 82 cents? Based on this estimate a woman would have to work until April for her earnings to catch up to a man's earnings from the previous year. This calculation was the impetus for Equal Pay Day which takes place on Tuesday, April 10, 2018, a symbolic day that brings awareness to the wage discrepancies between men and women in the U.S. workforce.
There is a solution to gender equity in the U.S. It starts with an understanding of where we are so that we can improve. Data is the key to that understanding and the solution to parity, says Katica Roy, international speaker, CEO, gender economist and equity expert. Roy can break down the available data for audiences, helping make parity attainable now.
