#Equal Pay for Equal Work Debate
Lilly Ledbetter fought for a simple principle: equal pay for equal work. After discovering she was paid less than her male colleagues for doing the same work, she became an advocate for fair wages. Her courage and dedication resulted in the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act—the very first bill I signed into law as President. While the fight for equal pay continues, Lilly’s life serves as a reminder that progress is possible when we make it happen. | Barack Obama

4.3K views · 45 reactions | We're three months into 2020, yet this is how long American women must work into the year to earn the same salary as men did in 2019. That’s why the National Committee on Pay Equality marks today — March 31 — as Equal Pay Day. Overall, women earn 81.6 cents for every dollar that men make, according to the most recent US Census data. https://cnn.it/2UTYfqN | CNN Business | Facebook

16K views · 126 reactions | The federal Equal Pay Act of 1963 requires that all employees receive equal pay for equal work. The state legislation proposed today created additional regulations and opportunities for unnecessary lawsuits.
