Today is Equal Pay Day.
As Senator Jeff Merkeley says, "We have narrowed the wage gap over the last few decades, but pay discrimination
remains a major issue that must be addressed. Women in America and in Oregon
earn less across all sorts of occupations and all educational levels. This is
unacceptable. It hurts women and it hurts their families, whose pocketbooks rely
on their earnings."
This is a great reminder that it is long past time we make equal pay for women a reality.
