For Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women, they'll have to work until April 3 to make the same pay white men earned the year before. Together, AAPI women are typically paid just 93 cents for every dollar paid to white men, although the pay gap varies significantly for some AAPI communities. For example, Bhutanese women working full time earn just 49 cents for every dollar white men earn. The lifetime wage gap totals more than $1.4 million for Bhutanese women. There are other groups of AANHPI women working full time who make more than white men, including Chinese women, Indian women, Malaysian women and Taiwanese women; however, these women still make less than men in their respective communities, the report also found.

Some consider April 5 equal pay day for Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander women, marking the point into the new year that the average AAPI woman has to work to make the same pay white men earned in 2022. In other words, an AAPI woman has to work 15 months to earn what a man makes in one year, according to an analysis by the National Women's Law Center. But that doesn't tell the whole story, cautioned Jasmine Tucker, the NWLC's director of research. During the pandemic, AAPI women endured disproportionately more job losses and were more likely to have child-care needs impact their ability to work. At the same time, persistent gender inequities suppressed wages and caused a crisis in savings as inflation took hold, Tucker said.
