Equal pay day.

Equal pay day. March 15 marks 2022’s Equal Pay Day, a day to raise awareness of the gender pay gap by marking how far into the year women work in order to earn what men earned in the prior year.
While the gender pay gap has decreased over recent years — just a few years ago, Equal Pay Day was in April — the rate of change has slowed. We saw large strides in the narrowing of the pay gap from 1960 - 2000, largely due to women’s increase in education and participation in the workforce, but that progress has slowed again. And of course Equal Pay Day is much, much further into the year for women of color.
What do you think must be done in order to close these gaps? Between women of different races and between men and women?
