How will the new Constitutional Equality Amendment impact the economic status of women?
One example of the economic significance of a CEA is that it will make it unconstitutional to pay men and women different wages for the same job or for jobs of comparable worth. Today, white women are paid 74 cents for every dollar men are paid; this statistic is even lower for women of color — African American women are paid 63 cents and Latina women 55 cents as compared to white men.
