Equal Pay Day 2016: Where VT Women Work...And Why It Matters

(Media Advisory)

WHAT:  Equal Pay Day.  Throughout the nation, women’s organizations observe Equal Pay Day each April, symbolizing how far into the new year the average American woman would have to work to earn what the average American man did in the previous year due to the gender wage gap.  In Vermont, median annual income for women working full-time year-round is $37,000.  That’s $7,000 less than the median annual salary earned by men, and translates to a 16% gender wage gap in Vermont.

WHERE:  Vermont State House.
