This presentation offers an in-depth examination of the persisting gender wage gap in the United States, highlighting the reality that women, particularly women of color, still earn significantly less than men. It delves into the effectiveness of legislative measures like the 1963 Equal Pay Act and recent state initiatives like North Carolina's Equal Pay Act (SB 338) in combatting wage disparities. The presentation underscores the urgent need for further action to reduce discrimination contributions and close the wage gap completely.
