WFCO Colorado's Equal Pay for Equal Work Act Is Closing the Gender Pay Gap

On Equal Pay Day, The Women’s Foundation of Colorado released a research brief that shows that Colorado’s Equal Pay for Equal Work Act is closing three times faster than states without pay transparency laws. Other states that have passed pay transparency laws, namely California and Washington, are seeing similar results. The Women’s Foundation of Colorado lobbied for the Equal Pay for Equal Work Act and led a statewide coalition of more than 20 organizations to help pass the bill in 2019. It was enacted in 2021.
