DE HCR25

Designates March 25, 2025 as "Equal Pay Day" in Delaware, marking the point in the year when women's wages catch up to what men earned the previous year

Women in Delaware working full-time earn on average 87% of men's earnings, with larger disparities for women of color: Black women earn 72% and Hispanic women earn 51% of white men's earnings

Female single-parent householders in Delaware earn 75% of what male single-parent householders earn

References the 2015 Delaware legislation requiring state contractors to certify fair wage practices and provide equal pay for equal work

Notes that more than 50 years after the Equal Pay Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, wage gaps persist regardless of education level or industry
