Seven months ago, women marked Equal Pay Day—the day women had to work until in 2017 to earn what men did in 2016. 。
The April 4 date was based on an average statistic—80 cents to the dollar—that lumps all women's earnings together. More than half a year later, Thursday marks Latina Equal Pay Day.。
Latina women earn 54 cents for every dollar white men make. It takes just two months shy of two years for Latina women to earn what white men did in the single year prior. In other words, an extra 10 months. 。

Latina Equal Pay Day follows Black Women's Equal Pay Day in July, Native American Women's Equal Pay Day in September, Asian-American Women's Equal Pay Day in March, and the aforementioned averaged Equal Pay Day in April. 。SEE ALSO:New York City just took a major step toward equal pay 。

At this rate, to earn what white men earn by age 60, Latina women would have to work until they’re 90." 。"I know these averages are not our fate," Jackie Cruz, who stars in 。 "I know these averages are not our fate," Jackie Cruz, who stars in 。Orange Is the New Black 。
