STATEMENT OF U.S. REPRESENTATIVE JAN SCHAKOWSKY ON EQUAL PAY DAY

WASHINGTON, D.C. - While I am not proud about the gender disparity of wages in the United States, I am proud today to join with my colleagues as a cosponsor of the Paycheck Fairness Act.

It is unbelievable that women still earn only a percentage of what men earn for comparable work. In the 21st century, women earn 72 cents for every dollar a man earns. In communities of color, the gap is wider: black women earn 64 cents for each dollar and Latinas earn only 55 cents for each dollar a man earns.
