💰 PAY EQUITY

Project for International Equal Pay Day-themed hackathon organized by TechTogether

PAY EQUITY is a web application that empowers individuals to track and compare their salaries and benefits with others in their industry, location, and experience level anonymously.
This tool will help marginalized genders assess whether they are being paid fairly, and if not, provide resources and support to address pay disparities.
