Why The Gender Gap Will Eventually Close
Annual Equal Pay Day Rally at the Capitol with pay equity advocates, businesspeople and legislators on the west steps Tuesday, April 12 to highlight the pay gap that still exists for women and people of color. Equal Pay Day symbolizes how far into the year a woman must work, on average, to earn as much as a man earned the previous year since women's wages still lag 24 percent behind those of men. Tuesday also is the day women's wages catch up to men's wages from the previous week. Joe Amon, The Denver Post (Photo By Joe Amon/The Denver Post via Getty Images)
