Equal pay. Why is this such a complicated issue? Should women make as much as men? Although most would say yes without hesitation, the reality is that it’s not happening.

Nationally, women are still only earning 73.6% of what men are earning. In this episode, Sherreta R. Harrison points out some of the reasons why we are where we are today, and how this issue also disproportionately affects women based on subgroups. For example, in Louisiana, Black and Latina women make only 48 and 52 cents on the dollar compared to White men.

At the end of the episode, Sherreta gives some practical ways you can help push the movement forward. One additional way is to share this episode with your friends. It all starts with knowledge.
