✊🏾💰💵🎨 #ArtIsAWeapon 👩🏾🎨@eeni_edit. August 7, 2018, marked #BlackWomensEqualPayDay - the day that a Black woman had to work into 2018 to catch up to the same amount a white man earned in all of 2017. ✔Black Women Make 63 Cents For Every Dollar Paid To White Men. ✔Black Women Are Paid 38 Percent Less Than White Men and 21 Percent Less Than White Women. ✔Black Women Make $21,698 Less Per Year On Average Than White Male Peers. ✔Black Women Must Work 219 Days Into 2018 To Achieve Equal Pay. ✔Black Women In NYC Will Lose Out On $1.3 Million Over A 40-Year Career. ____________________ Considering how large the wage gap is for Black women, lack of awareness about this inequity is evident: According to research by LeanIn.Org, SurveyMonkey and the National Urban League, 1 in 3 Americans is not aware of the pay gap between Black women and white men, and half of Americans are not aware of the gap between Black women and white women. ____________________ Regrann from @nowthisher - “In 2017, it took Black women an extra 212 days to earn what the average white man made the previous year. This year, we had to add another week of work to catch up.” Learn more about Black Women’s Equal Pay Day: linkin.bio/nowthisher #BlackWomenAtWork #FukcYouPayMe #RunMeMyCoins #EqualPayForEqualWork #WageGap #WageInequity #38PercentCounts #KnowYourWorth #AskForMoreAndAddInterest #TraScapades #ArtIsAWeapon
