Equal Pay Day — the day that symbolizes how far into the year women must work to earn what men earned in the previous year — falls on April 2 this year. To mark the milestone, the National Partnership for Women and Families released an analysis of the pay gaps in individual states.
Utah continues to have one of the largest gender gaps in the country, based on the most recent data available from the U.S. Census.
The new analysis says Utah in 2017 had the nation’s second-highest pay gap for women, of $14,997, behind Louisiana’s gap of $15,737.
