White House News: Equal Pay Day Proclamation

Today marks Equal Pay Day 2012. From the very beginning of his administration, President Obama has worked to ensure that women are paid fairly for their work. As he states in this year’s Presidential Proclamation:

“Equal pay will strengthen our families, grow our economy, and enable the best ideas and boldest innovations to flourish — regardless of the innovator’s gender. On National Equal Pay Day, let us resolve to become a Nation that values the contributions of our daughters as much as those of our sons, denies them no opportunity, and sets no limits on their dreams.”

Director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, Cecilia Munoz, has penned a great new blog post to mark the occasion. Some of the highlights include:

U.S. Secretary of Labor, Hilda L. Solis tells us about “Winning Apps to Close the Pay Gap,” so please be sure to check that out!

And Mark Your Calendars: The Secretary has also invited us all to join a chat on Twitter Friday, April 20th at 12 p.m. EDT, by following the hashtag #EqualPayChat. You can also submit questions in advance via Twitter to @USDOL using hashtag #EqualPayChat or by email to womensbureaunetwork@dol.gov.
