On average, New York women employed full time, year round are paid just 87 cents for every dollar paid to men – a yearly pay gap of $6,799. That means, in total, women in New York lose nearly $20 billion every year, which is money that could strengthen the state economy and the financial security of New York's women and families, including the nearly 1,079,000 New York households headed by women. These are some of the findings of a new analysis conducted by the National Partnership for Women & Families and released for Equal Pay Day tomorrow.
The analysis spans all 50 states, all 435 congressional districts in the country, and the District of Columbia. It can be found at NationalPartnership.org/Gap. The full set of findings for New York is available here. These findings include that, for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men in New York, African American women, Latinas and Asian women who work full time, year round are paid 66 cents, 56 cents and 80 cents, respectively.
