To Expect
New Jersey ranks 49th out of the 50
states on pay equity for Latinas.
In the U.S., Latina workers earned 57 cents for every dollar that white non-Latinos earned. In NJ, the disparity is worse, Latinas earning about 11 cents less than the national average at less than 46 cents on the dollar.

Latina Equal Pay
Bridging the Economic Gap for NJ Latinas
The LAN Foundation has partnered with the NJ Division on Women, Rutgers Center for Women and Work, and Latina Civic to begin addressing wage gap for Latinas in NJ. With the support of the NJ Division on Women, PSEG Foundation, & the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, LANF will be conducting community-based research with the Hispanic Women's Demonstration Resource Centers.
