'POTUS has declared March 14 as Equal Pay Day. This is the day that supposedly marks how far into the current year women must work to make their previous year's earnings match men's average annual income,' Karin Lips writes.
This “holiday” is promoted by feminists as a justification for more action when it comes to women and the workplace. In his proclamation for the day, the president
, “I call upon all Americans to recognize the full value of women’s skills and their significant contributions to the labor force, acknowledge the injustice of wage inequality, and join efforts to achieve equal pay.”conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median earnings of full-time workers in 2021 differed between men and women. The earnings of women were $51,226, while men’s earnings were $61,180, so the female-to-male earnings ratio was 0.84.
This statistic doesn’t take into account important labor choices, such as hours worked, fields of work, and commute times. Sometimes workers' preferences change; for example, some mothers choose to cut back hours once they have small children. What has the president done to address equal pay? He cites increasing funding for child care providers, raising the minimum wage, and fighting for workers to join labor unions. He is focused on getting more women in the traditional 9-to-5 workplace. But one approach he could use to help women is not to limit the measurement of success for all people to how much money they make in full-time jobs.
This 84 cents statistic measures equality in the workplace purely by how much money women make compared to men. Flexibility matters to many employees, and not all employees focus on maximizing earnings.
