On average, women had to work 99 days into 2018 from the start of 2017 to make the same as men made on average in 2017 alone, which gets us to today, Equal Pay Day. And while white women make 80 cents for every dollar a white man makes, it's even worse for women of color – African-American women make just 63 cents, and Latina women make only 54 cents.
