In honor of Equal
Pay Day, here's a guide to research tools for locating information on the
status of equal pay in Wisconsin.
Finding Legislative
Information
Two weeks ago, Governor Walker signed a bill to repeal
Wisconsin’s 2009 Equal Pay Enforcement Act, which provided a means for awarding
compensatory and punitive damages (in addition to back pay) to employment
discrimination victims. The full text of both the repeal and
the 2009 Act
are available in Wisconsin
Legislative Documents, along with related information such as fiscal
estimates and voting records.
Finding Income Data
The graph below uses data from the 2010 American Community
Survey, which is available in American
FactFinder, an online tool for browsing data collected by the Census
Bureau.
