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

Black women's wage gap is the focus of a concurrent resolution that would designate July 10, 2025, as Black Women's Equal Pay Day and call attention to how race and gender combine to depress Black women's pay.

Show full summary
  • Black women and their households: Black women working full-time earn about 66 cents for every dollar paid to White, non-Hispanic men. Over a 40-year career that gap costs nearly $1.0 million for the average Black woman.
  • Families and education: The resolution notes closing the gap would let an average Black woman working full-time pay for more than two additional years of public 4-year tuition or nearly a full year of childcare for two children.
  • Workers and workplaces: It links the gap to harassment, low pay, and limited pay transparency, noting at least 38 percent of women face workplace sexual harassment and about 60 percent of private-sector workers are discouraged from discussing pay.
