Rep. Torres Floor Speech on H.R. 7, the Paycheck Fairness Act

In the 60’s, women made 60 cents on the dollar. Now, the average woman makes 80 cents compared to her male counterpart. For women of color, the gender wage gap is even more severe... An African American woman makes 61 cents. A Native American woman makes 58 cents. A Latina woman makes just 53 cents.
