A Latina Equal Pay Day event in Los Angeles raised awareness on the large gap in wages between California Latinas and white men.A Latina Equal Pay Day event in Los Angeles Thursday raised awareness on the large gap in wages between California Latinas and white men.
Latina Equal Pay Day, which is commemorated on Oct. 5, is the symbolic day when Hispanic and Latina women's earnings "catch up" to their counterparts in the workforce. That's more than 10 cents less than the national average. According to the data, Latinas are paid 52 cents on the dollar when compared to white men."Latinas face double discrimination based on both gender and race," said attorney Jessica Ramey Stender, with Equal Rights Advocates. "So a lot of the issues that we see that rise and cause the wage gap are around discrimination, a lack of access to adequate supports in the workplace.
"I just don't know how we fix it," Long Beach resident Maria Alonzo said. "Without us being able to get in there and show that we can do it and prove ourselves, we're very limited."
