CA ACR200

Proclaims September 12, 2020, as Native American Women Equal Pay Day in California to recognize the wage gap affecting Native American women.

Notes that Native American women earn an average of $0.58 on the dollar compared to White men for equivalent work, representing the second largest wage gap among ethnic groups.

Highlights that the wage gap has persisted nearly 60 years after the federal Equal Pay Act of 1963 and worsens with education level.

Indicates that without closing the gap, Native American women face a lifetime earnings loss of $977,720 and must work until age 90 to earn what White non-Hispanic men earn by age 60.

Encourages employers and governments to take steps ensuring equitable compensation for Native American women and promote equal pay policies.
