H.Con.Res. 56 is a congressional resolution recognizing the wage gap between Latina women and white, non-Hispanic men in the United States. According to the resolution, Latina women working full-time earn approximately 58 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men, with the gap even wider in rural areas where Latinas earn about 43 cents per dollar. The resolution designates October 8, 2025, as "Latina Equal Pay Day" and notes that over a 40-year career, this pay disparity costs Latina women an average of $1.2 million in lost earnings. While the resolution does not propose new legislation or allocate funding, it calls on Congress to recognize the wage disparity and reaffirm its commitment to achieving equal pay and closing the gender wage gap for Latinas.
