“When teachers reported better benefits packages — things that included, for example, paid parental leave or slightly more days of paid time off — they reported fewer work-life balance challenges and better well-being." www.the74million.org/article/repo...

New survey finds rigid work schedules, an overload of household chores & child care duties and a lack of free time contribute to the gender gap.

When workers can access pregnancy accommodations on the job – like water bottles, lighter duty, or chairs to sit on – it protects families' economic security AND promotes maternal and infant health. www.abetterbalance.org/new-study-th...
The #WageGap cannot be explained away by education, experience or perceived choices. Even in states with large populations of Latinas in the workforce, rampant wage disparities persist, with devastating consequences for Latinas and their families.

Not all Latinas experience the pay gap the same way. Rural Latinas: 43¢. Guatemalan & Honduran Latinas: 29¢. Equity means justice for ALL Latinas. https://action.momsrising.org/sign/LEPD2025/ #Trabajadoras #LatinaEqualPay #MomSky
Latinas are one of two groups that spend the most time doing unpaid caregiving and they’re losing billions because of it. It’s even more crucial that their wage gap closes. #LatinaEqualPay

Latina women who work full time, year round, and part time earn only 54 cents for every $1 earned by a white male. Take a stand against pay discrimination & occupational segregation! We need #LatinaEqualPay for #Trabajadoras everywhere.
Today, on #LatinaEqualPay Day, we honor ten years of the campaign, but the work continues. Did you know: On average, rural Latinas are paid $12,965 compared to $30,194 for non-Hispanic white men. The gap is clear and impacts our families every day.

Over a 40-year career, Latinas lose $1+ million to the wage gap. That's money stolen from our families & our future. https://action.momsrising.org/sign/LEPD2025/ #LatinaEqualPay #Trabajadoras #MomSky

Latinas often work in industries with positive employment growth, but their wages haven't kept up. Full-time, year round #Trabajadoras earn just 58 cents per dollar of white, non-Hispanic men resulting in >$33k/year lost to the #WageGap. #LatinaEqualPay https://ow.ly/Iht150X8Bv2
The gender wage gap for full-time, year-round workers expanded significantly in 2024 and is wider for women of color

Today is #LatinaEqualPay Day. Latinas are paid just 54 cents for every $1 paid to white, non-Hispanic men. For full-time, year-round workers, it’s 58 cents. This is not just a number, but a lifetime of stolen wages. #Trabajadoras nwlc.org/resource/equ...

October is National Work & Family Month! Balancing your job with your family and health needs shouldn't be a luxury – we all deserve the right to care for ourselves and our loved ones without risking our paycheck.

As we highlighted in a letter to Governor Newsom, older adults, the LGBTQ+ community and people with disabilities disproportionately rely on and care for chosen family members, and this expansion will be a lifeline for countless Californians. www.abetterbalance.org/resources/le...
