50th Anniversary of the Equal Pay Act

June 10, 2013, marks 50 years since President John F. Kennedy signed the Equal Pay Act.  According to research from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR), pay parity is not expected to be achieved until 2057, 45 years from now, if the rate of progress since 1960 continues.

IWPR President Dr. Heidi Hartmann has issued a statement on this significant anniversary, available at the link below:
