    Latinas would have to work 74 more YEARS to earn the same amount as white, non-Hispanic men. Enough! Let’s pass the Paycheck Fairness Act and help secure equal pay for equal work. #LatinaEqualPay

        Thank you for that. I can't stand it when people think that "poor minorities" are perpetual victims who can't do anything on their own.

        Hey Pramila. Indian men make more money than white non-hispanic men. Can you please compare Latina pay to that of Indian men (and women)? #LatinaEqualPayhttps://twitter.com/repjayapal/status/1058063738526408704?s=21 …

        First of all there is the Equal Pay Act that's enough second the wage gap is a myth what you guys are doing its taking avg income of a certain race and compare it without accounting quality/experience and job title itself...

        Define equal work and show the study that reports this pay discrepancy.

        Since economists have found that white women aged 20-40, make more than white men, latinas would have to work more than 74 years to make up the difference. But yea, white straight men = antichrist

        I'm 10 percent hispanic. I'm also a biological male who identifies as a woman. No wonder I've been getting paid so little! Must be racism!!!

        Can we see the stats for pay with both demographics doing the same job with identical levels of experience? Then we can talk.
