All women make less than a white man.

Native American women, 58 cents, and
Latina women make 54 cents to a white man’s dollar.
THE GENDER PAY GAP IS REAL, Y’ALL.
It takes Latina women almost a whole additional year to make what a white man makes in a year!!! WTH?! (enter other expletives here).
November 20th is Latina Equal Pay Day, the day that marks the additional time Latina women have to work in order to catch up to their white male counterparts. Latina women have to work the HARDEST to earn a living.
On Episode 24 of the podcast we talk to Jackie Lynn Garcia, who is the founder of a social media platform called “Elevate Your Pay” – dedicated to helping women of color get the pay they deserve. We discuss Latina Equal Pay Day, salary negotiation and how the pay gap affects our ability to generate wealth for our families and communities.
Jackie is a Human Resources professional with extensive experience in data analysis, developing and implementing programs, and employee relations.
