March 15 2022 is Equal Pay Day (averaged for all women), a day that symbolizes the extra days women must work to catch up to what the average man earned the previous year. The day changes from year to year as the situation improves: No gender pay gap would mean Equal Pay Day lands on January 1. In 2019 Equal Pay Day was April 2; in 2020 it was March 31, in 2021 it was March 24, and this year it is March 15, indicating that incremental progress is occurring.
Red is worn on this day as a symbol of how far women and minorities are "in the red." Join the Copper Country League of Women Voters and other supporters for a "Red Out" to recognize Equal Pay Day. On March 15 League volunteers will gather at the Husky statue on the Michigan Tech campus, in front of the Tech Library, to hand out literature and cookies marking Equal Pay Day. We will be there from 11:30 am until 12:30 pm.
Join us! Find out what you can do to help close the gap.
