Issue Position: Pay Equity

Issue Position

Mike believes the time is long past due for all Americans to receive equal pay for equal work. But under Donald Trump, wage discrimination against women, especially women of color, remains a significant barrier to equality and economic empowerment. Today, American women are paid on average only 85 cents for every dollar men are paid. For Black women, the disparity is even greater: Black women make on average only 61 cents for every dollar white men make. As president, Mike will ensure equal pay for every American woman's equal work.

How Mike Will Get It Done:
End practices that further the Gender Pay Gap
Collect the right data and put it to work
Raise the minimum wage to lift up low-income women
Recognize at-home work with tax refunds
