The American dream is the belief that every citizen has the equal opportunity to achieve success through hard work.
On October 5, known as"Latina Equal Pay Day" there is a renewed focus on how pay inequity impacts Latina workers, who are among the lowest paid of all Americans.
“[My mom] has to work, it seems a lot of hours and a lot of overtime, to sort of make up to what I see other average middle-class families making,” said Agaton.Hyundai and Kia recall nearly 3.4 million vehicles due to fire risk and urge owners to park outdoors In comparison, Black women who work full-time make 67 cents to the dollar, while Black women who work part-time make 64 cents to the dollar.“It's egregious. It's absolutely egregious that essentially, Latinas are making half of what white, non-Hispanic men are making,” said Deborah Vagins of Equal Rights Advocates, a nonprofit organization that advocates for women’s rights.
“For children of immigrants, there's definitely a lot of pressure. Because your success isn't only your success, it's the success of your family as well,” Agaton said.According to the National Women’s Law Center, that pay gap typically amounts in Latina women losing out on just over $2,500 a month, more than $30,000 a year, and would exceed $1.2 million dollars over the span of a 40-year career.
