Women in America earn only  $0.79 for every $1 men earn, losing thousands of dollars over the course of their career. Since President Obama first signed the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act back in 2009, he’s continued to work to help close the gap. Just last week, he stood with Lilly Ledbetter as he announced new steps to advance equal pay for equal work. Learn more about the President’s recent actions at go.wh.gov/EqualPay.

White women earn $0.79 cents to a white man’s $1.00.
