Roundtable Discussion on Gender Pay Gap
Separately, Pennsylvania First Lady Frances Wolf hosted a roundtable discussion on the gender pay gap at the governor’s residence.
Mrs. Wolf, together with the members of the Pennsylvania Commission for Women, business leaders, lawmakers and advocates focused their discussions on the need for enacting policies to protect women from gender-based pay discrimination.
According to Mrs. Wolf, “When women are paid just 79 cents on the dollar of what men are paid, we have a real problem. And the problem is even worse for women of color, with African-American women making just 63 cents on the dollar of what men are paid.”
She believes that equal pay for equal work is achievable in Pennsylvania if all stakeholders work together.
