According to LeanIn.org, Latina women make 55 cents for every dollar made by a white man, which accounts for more than 1 million dollars lost over their lifetime. Latina women are overrepresented in some of the lowest paid jobs, according to the National Women's Law Center. And, as the Economic Policy Institute reports, the population has also faced disproportionate economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Latina women aren't the only ones affected by a pay gap. It takes Black women 8 extra months to match the wages of white men and 10 months for Native American women.
