According to the Washington, D.C.-based Labor Council for Latina American Advancement, Latina Equal Pay Day, according to the California Commission on the Status of Women, “is the approximate day Latinas must work into the new year to make what a White non-Hispanic man made at the end of the previous year. Latinas typically earn only 55 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men and must work nearly 23 months to earn what white men earn in 12 months.”
