On the eve of Equal Pay Day, celebrated this year on April 2, House Democrats passed a new law intended to help close the wage gap between men and women.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democratic lawmakers reintroduced the Paycheck Fairness Act on Jan. 30 — the bill's author, Rep. Rosa DeLauro , first introduced it in 1997. It went up for a final vote on March 27, passing 242-187. Seven Republications representatives were among those in favor. "This is historic. Rosa has been introducing this bill forever," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told the House Democratic Caucus on Tuesday, according to Vox."But public sentiment — public, social media, and all the rest — with help us with this."
While the practice may be illegal, men continue to out earn women, often for performing the same work. Women in the U.S. will earn 79 cents for every dollar men earn in 2019, or about 21.4 percent less, according to a new analysis conducted by Glassdoor of more than 425,000 U.S. employees' salaries.
