The LCC ACE Women's Network held its annual Equal Pay Day event Wednesday, April 6. Equal Pay Day illustrates the gap between men’s and women’s wages, symbolizing how far past 2021 and into 2022 the average woman has to work to make as much as the average man made in 2021. The gap increases for women of color, LGBTQIA+ women, and mothers.
Learn more about how the pay gap is calculated, causes of the gap, and common misconceptions from the American Association of University Women.
LCC's 2022 event included three special messages and a panel of accomplished women who will talk about their experiences and their thoughts on closing the pay gap.
