Equal Pay Day

As if you hadn't heard — and surely, you have heard — women earn less money than men.
The oft-cited statistic that women earn 79 cents for every dollar men earn, based on median annual income, gets extra attention on Tuesday, Equal Pay Day, which marks how far into the year women on average have to work to catch up to men's earnings from the previous year.
The perennial topic has come to the forefront thanks to Hillary Clinton's attention to the issue and big tech companies publicly striving to close pay discrepancies.
In addition, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has proposed a new rule requiring employers to disclose pay by gender and race, and the Paycheck Fairness Act is proposing to amend the Equal Pay Act of 1963 to prohibit retaliation for wage disclosure and strengthen penalties for equal pay violations.
•A woman's median annual salary for full- time work is $10,800 less per year than a man's — a disparity that can add up to nearly $500,000 over the course of a career, according to a report from the Joint Economic Committee Democratic Staff.
That hurts retirement income, with women aged 65 and older receiving 44 percent less annually than men.
And
Walk On Your Wild Side Day

Be Unpredictable! Walk On Your Wild Side Day is a chance to do something no one would ever expect you to.
Today is a day to embrace your inner wild streak – to wearing nothing but neon pink, dying your hair green for a day, or showing everybody who ever said you couldn’t that you could.
