DE HCR11

Designates April 14, 2015 as "Equal Pay Day" in Delaware to raise awareness of the gender wage gap.

Highlights that Delaware women working full-time earned on average only 83% of men's earnings in 2013, a 17 percentage point gap.

Notes that women of color face even greater wage disparities, with African American women earning 67% and Hispanic/Latina women earning 56% of white men's earnings in 2013.

States that women lose approximately $431,000 in wages over a lifetime due to the gender earnings gap.

Calls for legislative action on pay equity policies and supports passage of a federal Paycheck Fairness Act to strengthen enforcement of equal pay laws.
