Black women's wage gap is worse this year than it was in 2021, when Black Women's Equal Pay Day was weeks earlier on August 3. This year, it took until September 21.
Last month, Black women earned what the average white U.S. man was paid last year. Just imagine that — it took nearly nine additional months of work so we could earn the same as our male colleagues did in 12 months.

The good news? The average wage gap for all U.S. women has improved since last year, moving Equal Pay Day up from March 24 in 2021 to March 15 in 2022.

The bad news? Black women's wage gap is worse this year than it was in 2021, when Black Women's Equal Pay Day was weeks earlier on August 3. This year, it took until September 21.

Black Women’s Equal Pay Day is the approximate day a Black woman must work into the new year to make what a white, non-Hispanic man made at the end of the previous year. While other women are moving forward, Black women are falling further behind.
