Massachusetts Coalition for Wage Equality

The Reality of the Wage Gap in Massachusetts

According to the recent “State of Women: A County By County Report on the Status of Women & Girls in Massachusetts,” women earn less than men in EVERY county in Massachusetts-an average of 77 cents for every dollar earned by a man. Not only does this impact their ability to be economically self sufficient and provide for their families, but it affects women’s abilities to access education, housing, healthcare, childcare, investments, retirement, etc.

In response to this profound wage gap, the Massachusetts Coalition for Women’s Wage Equality formed as a broad based, statewide coalition of dynamic organizations and individuals committed to endorsing pay equity for women of the Commonwealth.

The Coalition’s goal is to support and advocate for equitable compensation for women who are employed in jobs that require comparable skills, efforts, responsibilities, and working conditions to those of men.
