Mother’s Day was a couple of weeks ago, but Americans need another day to think about what we owe to moms. May 30th is a less festive occasion: It’s Moms’ Equal Pay Day, a date indicating how far into 2018 mothers have to work to catch up with what fathers were paid back in 2017. In other words, today underscores the reality that mothers must work a full 5 months longer than fathers to provide the same support to their families. The pay inequity harms mothers, their partners, children and everyone else who relies on a mother’s income for all or part of their household’s needs.
