Equal Pay Day 2017 falls on Tuesday, April 4, which means the countdown is only a week away.
Equal Pay Day might not be something you traditionally mark on your calendar and get excited about — like say, your birthday or Halloween. But, in the PayScale world, it’s a pretty big day. This year, it’s extra special, because we’ve put together an incredible panel of gender equity experts and business leaders to talk about overcoming issues like the gender pay gap and the opportunity gap.
Here’s the skinny on what you need to know to tune in.
