Women are losing thousands of dollars a month due to the gender pay gap. The pandemic may have made it worse.

March 15 marks Equal Pay Day. It's the amount of time women had to work into 2022 to make the same amount men were paid in 2021 alone. 

Women working full-time year round were paid just 83 cents on the dollar compared with men, according to a new analysis by the National Women's Law Center, which looked at the latest data from 2020. But when comparing all women who worked in 2020 with all men who worked, regardless of hours and weeks, women were typically paid just 73 cents on the dollar. 

That pay gap is even greater for women of color. While White women typically made 79 cents on the dollar compared to White men, Black women made 64 cents on the dollar compared to White men while Latina and Native American women made just 57 cents.
