Influencing Latinas of all ages
Wome’s Empowerment Initiatives
‘Latinas face large wage gaps compared to white men in every single state. There are no signs that earnings differences are improving.
These gaps in earnings mount up year after year and mean Latinas have fewer resources to support themselves and their families, build wealth, or prepare for retirement.’
Institute for Women’s Policy Research, Sept 2023
