October 8, 2025, marks the 10th anniversary of Latina Equal Pay Day—a campaign dedicated to recognizing the hard work, resilience, and economic contributions of Latinas across the United States. For the past decade, this initiative has brought national attention to the persistent wage gap that Latinas face, highlighting its profound impact on their financial security and that of their families.

Yet, despite these efforts, Latinas continue to face a substantial wage gap that undermines their long-term economic security. If no progress is made, Latinas will still have to wait more than a century to achieve fair pay. Based on the present trajectory of the earnings ratio, it will take until the year 2178 for all Latina workers to reach pay equity with White men.
