SR0675LRB104 21142 LAW 35464 r

1SENATE RESOLUTION

2 WHEREAS, The future of our nation's productivity and 

3competitiveness in the global marketplace depends on the 

4success of all men and women; and

5 WHEREAS, Women have been discriminated against in 

6education, the workplace, and society as a whole; and

7 WHEREAS, Equal Pay Day, started by the National Committee 

8on Pay Equity (NCPE) in 1996, was created with the goal of 

9raising awareness about the gender wage gap; this symbolic day 

10further highlights and combats the impact of pay inequities 

11through U.S. Census data, which has revealed that women 

12working full-time and year-round are paid 81% of what men are 

13paid, and all workers, including part-time and seasonal, are 

14paid 76% of what men are paid; and

15 WHEREAS, In 2022, changes were made to the methodology, 

16and The Equal Pay Day Calendar now encompasses a broader 

17cross-section of women, including those who work part-time or 

18seasonally, to represent a more accurate picture of how the 

19gender pay gap impacts diverse communities; the COVID-19 

20pandemic pushed many women, especially women of color, into 

21part-time or seasonal work or out of the workforce all 

22together; because of this, past methods of calculating the 

SR0675- 2 -LRB104 21142 LAW 35464 r

1wage gap fell short of accurately capturing the full picture; 

2with the new inclusive methodology, we can advocate on behalf 

3of all women in the workforce; and

4 WHEREAS, Because the pay gap varies significantly among 

5different communities, other Equal Pay Days have been added to 

6the calendar over the years to reflect the fact that many women 

7must work far longer into the year to catch up to men; and
