Today is #EqualPayDay, which represents how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year. The wage gap is a significant contributor to the long-term economic insecurity of women and families, with women of color and mothers facing the greatest inequalities. You can make a difference today by advocating for... ➡️ The Equal Rights Amendment: https://bit.ly/JRFaithERA ➡️ The Paycheck Fairness Act: https://p2a.co/zgIsuWP

Today is #EqualPayDay! It's unacceptable that women, on average, still earn 78 cents for every dollar earned by men. The wage gap hits even harder for women of color. It's time to confront this inequality and advocate for fair compensation for ALL. The #PaycheckFairnessAct will help end pay discrimination for women. Tell your Rep. to support this bill so women — especially women of color — are paid what they're owed!

I help women to avoid the pay gap in their business by getting their financial mindset right. I remember interviewing Black and Asian women who'd left employment to set up their own businesses. This was for the 'Broken Ladders' report by the Runnymede Trust and the Fawcett Society back in 2022. It was clear from the conversations that these women still were dealing with some of the same systemic biases they faced in employment. Same problem, different setting. I believe that as a female business owner paying attention to your numbers and the impact of the pay gap is crucial. Because if you don't, there's even less of a financial safety net for you to fall back on. I know the financial impact that under-earning has on women. If you've never stopped to consider this or have but are unsure what you can do about it, let's talk. #paygaps #financialcoaching

Throughout Women’s History Month, please join AuguStar Life in commemorating some of the key events that have helped shape the financial history of women in America. 1938: The Fair Labor Standards Act is passed, establishing a minimum wage for hourly workers, and eliminating pay differentials between men and women working hourly jobs. 1960s: The U.S. grants women the right to own bank accounts. This comes more than 80 years after France had already done so, but more than a decade before the U.K. would. 1972: Katherine Graham becomes the first female CEO of a Fortune 500 company. 1974: The Equal Credit Opportunity Act is passed, allowing women to apply for credit without a male co-signer for the first time. The scope of the law is later expanded to also protect on the basis of age, marital status, race, national origin and religion. #womeninfinance #womenshistorymonth #femalefinance Sources: https://lnkd.in/gXqAY943 https://lnkd.in/g_EwbBQ6
