National Pay Equity Day was originated by the National Committee on Pay Equity (NCPE) in 1996 as a public awareness campaign to illustrate the gap between men’s and women’s wages, symbolizes how far into the year a woman must work, on average, to earn as much as a man earned the previous year. Because women overall still are paid just 78 cents for every dollar paid to men, it takes women 15 months to make as much money as men do in a year. To drive home the point, Equal Pay Day is celebrated on a Tuesday because it takes women seven days to make as much money as men make in five.
