Working women in the U. S. are typically paid 80 percent of what men are paid. The difference is even more pronounced for African American, Hispanic/Latina, Native, or Asian American women. The pay gap in Iowa is among the worst in the fifty states.

Women who know how to negotiate increase their potential to earn higher salaries and better benefits packages. AAUW is committed to helping women earn what they are worth, so is offering a FREE, online Work Smart negotiations workshop to anyone, whether or not she is a member of AAUW.
