• Women earn about 87 cents for every dollar men earn
• The gap is worse for women of color
• Hawaiʻi’s high cost of living increases the impact
BPW Hawaiʻi calls for action:
• Increase pay transparency
• Enforce equal pay laws
• Support women in underrepresented fields
Goal:
• Fair pay for all across Hawaiʻi
