After 50 Years American President Signed Document For The Equal Pay Day Saying “It’s Nice to Have a Day, But It’s Even Better to Have Equal Pay”
Fifty years ago, President Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act into law to combat gender-based wage discrimination, and in the decades since, women have made extraordinary progress. But there is still a great amount of work that needs to be done. Women still make just 77 cents on average for every dollar a man earns, and continue to face prejudice in the workplace. And that number hasn’t improved — the pay gap has stayed constant since 2002.
That’s why today, on Equal Pay Day, President Barack Obama signed an Executive Order and a Presidential Memorandum to help combat pay discrimination and strengthen the enforcement of equal pay laws.
