DE HCR72

Designates April 10, 2018 as "Equal Pay Day" in Delaware through concurrent resolution of the House and Senate.

Notes that women in Delaware working full-time earned 88.5% of men's earnings in 2015, with larger gaps for women of color: African American women earned 77% of white men's earnings and Hispanic women earned 68%.

Highlights that single mothers in Delaware households earn 60 cents for every dollar earned by single fathers.

Recognizes that April 10th symbolizes the point in the calendar year when women's cumulative wages catch up to men's wages from the previous year.

Acknowledges that pay equity policies can be implemented in public and private sectors and are critical to family economic security, particularly as nearly four in ten mothers are primary breadwinners.
