The 2012 Equal Pay Day – the point into 2012 that a woman must work, on average, to make the same amount a man did in 2011 – was April 17. Roughly a third of the year has passed and woman have just now caught up. For those wondering why this is a date of significance when women should already be making equal wages compared to men a law that passed almost 50 years ago – we are wondering that too!

Happy International Women’s Day!
Today we celebrate the strides women have made in the ongoing struggle for equality here in the United States and around the world, but it’s also a time to make note of the many battles yet to be won.
