New America Q&A: The Lived Reality of the Gender and Race Wage Gap

April 4. 2023


ERA Policy Director & Deputy Legal Director Jessica Ramey Stender did a Q&A interview with New America’s Better Life Lab about the gender wage gap.
Excerpt:
“[A] country without a wage gap would look like one where poverty would be cut in half for women and families. It would be a country where women and their families are able to afford not only basic necessities like rent, food, diapers, and utilities but have the ability to put money away for education or to invest in their retirements.”
