Recognizing the disparity in wages paid to Latinas and the impact of that disparity on women, families, the economy, and the United States.

Sponsored By: Representative Leger Fernandez, Teresa [D-NM-3]

Introduced

Summary

This concurrent resolution would formally recognize the Latina wage gap and designate October 8, 2026 as "Latina Equal Pay Day." It notes that in 2025 about 15.3 million Hispanic women made up roughly 19 percent of women in the labor force and that Latinas earn about 60 cents on the dollar for full‑time, year‑round work, 53 cents overall, and about 43 cents in some rural communities, cites federal anti‑discrimination laws, references research estimating a lifetime earnings loss near $1.3 million per worker, and highlights barriers such as childcare, transportation, and health care while calling for more disaggregated data.
