ECONOMIC SECURITY FOCUS
When women get equal pay — and equal opportunity — they, their families and all of society will thrive. To get there, we need to embrace diversity, equity and inclusion.
We’ve led the fight for fair pay and economic opportunity for women — and the battle continues: men continue to dominate the top roles and highest-paying professions. The median salary for women is just 82% of the median salary for men—a figure that has barely budged over the past generation.
