TELL OUR LEADERS TO CLOSE THE WAGE GAP IN NEW YORK!
$8,590 is the wage gap between full-time working men and women in the state.
That's:
64 weeks of food
3 years of family health insurance premiums
2,000 additional gallons of gas
$22,000,000,000 (Yes, BILLION) in lost wages are due to unequal pay.
1,000,000 households in New York headed by women.
1 in 4 women-headed households in New York living below the poverty level.
280,000 families who would not be living in poverty if we eliminate the wage gap
BUT: 84% registered voters across the country say they support “a new law that would provide women more tools to get fair pay in the workplace.”
