Today is Moms` Equal Pay Day, a reminder of how far into the year mothers must work to earn what fathers earned the year before.
ㅤ
Nationally, mothers working full-time, year-round are paid 74 cents for every dollar paid to fathers, a gap that shows up in every paycheck long before it shows up in a headline.
ㅤ
At WMM, 69% of the women in our financial wellness programs are mothers, and we see the impact of that gap firsthand. They have less room to save, less cushion for emergencies, and less ability to build toward the future.
ㅤ
Closing the wage gap will take systemic change, policy, employers, and years of advocacy. That`s bigger than any one organization alone, but while that work continues, we equip the mothers in our programs with the tools, coaching, and confidence to build financial resilience despite the wage gap. 💚
