Equal Pay Day: Women work for free for the rest of the year

Women will effectively be working for free from today until the end of the year due to the 14.3% pay gap.

This year’s Equal Pay Day falls just five days later than in 2014. That is according to the Fawcett Society, who have looked at official statistics on hourly pay for full-time workers to determine the pay gap between men and women. The figures are from 2014, which are the latest available numbers.
