In 2022, Black women are being paid $0.58 of the $1 non-Hispanic white men make despite having the same roles and responsibilities (source: ACS Census data). Well, Black Women’s Equal Pay Day (BWEPD) highlights this disparity by translating dollars into days.
Each year, the date that BWEPD falls on represents the approximate date a Black woman must work into the new year to make the same salary a non-Hispanic white man makes at the end of the previous year. Long story short, Black women had to work more than 249 days into 2022 to make the salary non-Hispanic white men made in 2021 alone.
This year’s Black Women’s Equal Pay has been pushed back 49 whole days from 2021, so we have seen a regression in equal pay.
That is why it’s more important than ever to know what you are supposed to be getting paid, so we are pouring more resources into BWEPD than ever before and keeping it free.
THIS IS WHY WE’RE BRINGING BACK THE #HIREBLACK SALARY NEGOTIATION WORKSHOP & TRANSPARENCY SALARY DATABASE
Here is what a #HIREBLACK member and attendee from last year had to say:
“My total comp is more than double my income on my last job, I leveled up from the given (emphasis on given bc it wasn't accurate) level of analyst to director. I negotiated for my very first sign-on bonus. Shout out to #hireblack and their negotiation seminar last year. I've been working on this bag for a hot minute and it's finally happened the way I needed it to.”
