    Rep. Barbara Lee Retweeted TIME'S UP

    Latinas are the breadwinners for 3 million US households, but they’re paid an average of just 53 cents for every $1 paid to white men. No one can raise a family on that. Unequal pay keeps too many families locked in poverty. We must close the gap. #LatinaEqualPayhttps://twitter.com/TIMESUPNOW/status/1058051084734742528 …

    Today is #LatinaEqualPay Day. To earn what a white man earned in 2017, a Latina would have to work all of last year PLUS 10 months of 2018. It’s time to close the wage gap. #DemandMore pic.twitter.com/fM9yw0KSWD

        The lack of statistical understanding is the main issue in government. Did you know more man die at work. I wonder why because they take higher pay and higher risk jobs like digging whole in the ocean floor cleaning high rise window. just jobs most average women wont do.

        Correct. My husband works for the railroad repairing and inspecting cars. It is a 65k+ a year job and offers a Cadillac health plan worth another 15 to 20k requiring only a HS diploma or GED. Railroad retirement is solvent separate from SS. There is 1 woman there, 90+ men.

        Why isn't the focus on Asian men and women who are outearning everyone? Why focus on white men when they arent even the top earners?

        "No one can raise a family on" an "average of just 53 cents for every $1 paid to white men." You really have NO IDEA what an average is, do you?

        Low pay gives them government Assistance. It's what Corporations do like Walmart etc... not just Latinos it's all low wage earners. Broken backs & assistance is a Democrat farm.
