The North Platte Evening and Noon Luncheon Business and Professional Women groups are sponsoring an Equal Pay Day event from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at "The Hotspot," coffee shop next to Papa Murphy's.
BPW groups across the country annually sponsor Equal Pay Day events to draw attention to the fact that nationally women earn 76 cents to each dollar paid to male counterparts.
Over a working lifetime, this wage difference costs the average American woman an estimated $250,000.
The two North Platte BPW groups are co-sponsoring an educational seminar to draw attention to how this pay inequity affects women's earnings and spending ability and her retirement.
