Stats for Stories: Equal Pay Day ⚖️
Thursday, March 26, is Equal Pay Day.
The date of Equal Pay Day symbolizes how many extra days into the new year women have to work to earn what men earned the prior year.
This year, Equal Pay Day is a day later than it was in 2025 but 16 days before the first Equal Pay Day, April 11, 1996. While an earlier date may signal progress in narrowing the pay gap between men and women, U.S. Census Bureau data show disparities persist, even in women-dominated occupations.
