What Does #NationalEqualPayDay Mean?

National Equal Pay Day marks how far into the new year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year. The date changes each year based on the wage gap data, and separate dates exist for women of different racial and ethnic groups to highlight the intersectional nature of pay inequality. The day was started by the National Committee on Pay Equity in 1996.
