Families depend on women’s wages more than ever, but women working full time, year round are typically paid less than men working full time, year round. For Latinas the wage gap is even larger than for women overall, with Latinas working full time, year round typically making only 58 cents for every dollar white, non-Hispanic men make. The full-time, year-round wage gap for Latinas varies widely by state. 

However, the wage gap for full-time, year-round workers doesn’t fully reflect the economic disparities faced by Latinas. When part-time and part-year workers are included in the comparison, Latinas were typically paid only 54 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men in 2024.  This disparity varies widely by state.
