Recognizing the significance of equal pay and the disparity in wages paid to men and to Black women.

Sponsored By: Representative Adams, Alma S. [D-NC-12]

Introduced

Summary

This concurrent resolution would recognize the importance of equal pay and the persistent _Black women's wage gap_ and would designate July 21, 2026 as Black Women's Equal Pay Day. It notes Census data showing Black women who work full time, year round are paid 65 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men and 63 cents when part-time workers are included, with a median annual pay of $51,660. The resolution highlights that, if trends continue, Black women would wait nearly 200 years for pay equity and would lose about $1.1 million over a 40-year career, that more than 69 percent of Black mothers are sole or primary breadwinners, and that limited access to child care, paid leave, pay transparency, and protection from workplace harassment contribute to the gap.
