Equal Pay for Mississippi

Everyone should be able to earn a decent living and care for their families. Yet, too many Mississippi women - especially Black women - are struggling to make ends meet because they are being shortchanged at work.
Mississippi is the only state in the nation without an equal pay law. If women in Mississippi received equal pay compared to men, poverty for working women could be cut by more than half, the poverty rate among women and working mothers would be reduced by one-third, and the Mississippi economy would add $4.15 billion in wage and salary income (equivalent to 3.9 percent of 2016 GDP).
These barriers are not only holding women back; they are holding back Mississippi families, businesses, and the entire state economy.
