This year’s Equal Pay Day for Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander women is marked on May 3—almost two months later than last year, since for the first time it includes gig and part-time workers rather than only full-time employees.

With the addition of part-time and gig workers, AANHPI women make on average 75 cents for every dollar earned by white men. In other words, it takes about 16 months for them to make what white men make in a year. This more representative assessment of their wage gap is a 10-cent decrease from last year when part-time and gig workers were not included.
On average, AANHPI women earn more than other women of color: Black women earn 58 cents per $1 for white men, Native American women earn 50 cents and Latina women earn 49 cents. But when broken down into more specific ethnic groups, wages among different communities of AANHPI women vary widely. This means the frequently cited 75 cents figure for AANHPI women can paint a distorted picture of how many of them are faring.
