Bill Summary
Recognizing the significance of equal pay and the disparity in wages paid to men and to Black women.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution acknowledges the significant wage gap faced by Black women, highlighting that they are paid considerably less than white, non-Hispanic men for comparable work, a disparity that persists despite laws like the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibit pay discrimination based on sex and race respectively. The resolution points out that this wage gap, which means Black women earn only about 65 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men, has profound negative consequences for Black women, their families, and the broader economy, and reaffirms Congress's commitment to achieving equal pay for equal work and reducing the gender wage gap.
