You are invited to join in the larger conversation via a Web chat about gender pay equality this Friday, April 12, at 1 p.m. EDT (set a reminder for yourself here!). Representatives from the department’s Women's Bureau, Office of the Chief Economist, and Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) will address the current pay gap and ongoing policy initiatives. 

  • Latifa Lyles, acting director of the Women’s Bureau, will answer questions about what the agency is doing to ensure economic security for working women of all ages and to encourage younger women to pursue careers in growing industries.
  • Jennifer Hunt, chief economist, will be on hand to talk about trends in women’s earnings over time and how closing the pay gap will benefit U.S. families and the nation’s economy.
  • Patricia Shiu, director of the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, and Pamela Coukos, senior program advisor, will address questions about how OFCCP is helping contractors comply with the law, and how recent guidance on pay equality could affect your business.

We invite you to be a part of this important discussion. You’ll be able to ask experts about the current state of women’s wages, and how Labor Department resources can help workers and businesses pursue pay equality.
