Today is Latina Equal Pay Day, a day that marks how much Latinas must work to earn the same amount their white male counterparts earn in just one year. Throughout the year, we mark a variety of Equal Pay Days: Asian-American Women’s Equal Pay Day in March, all women’s Equal Pay Day in April, African American Women’s Equal Pay Day in July, and Native American Women’s Equal Pay Day in September. But Latina Equal Pay Day comes dead last. When I first wrote about this in 2017, Latina Equal Pay Day w

The North American nation narrowly surpassed last year’s leader, New Zealand, to rank as the global powerhouse for female founders in Mastercard’s Index of Women Entrepreneurs 2019, which was released Wednesday.

U.S. government debt prices were higher Wednesday morning, amid heightened political tensions between the world’s two largest economies.

An increasing number of governments and central banks are taking steps to boost economic growth — but those policies will be less effective if the U.S. and China don’t reach a “phase one” trade deal, a Morgan Stanley executive said on Wednesday. The absence of that deal will prolong economic uncertainty globally, said Gokul Laroia, co-chief executive of Asia Pacific for Morgan Stanley. The U.S. and China agreed to work towards a “phase one” deal. “We may get a phase one trade deal, a deal on Chi

Given the results of the Mueller investigation, which concluded that Russia had interfered in the 2016 U.S. election, one could forgive Americans for being wary of the country as the 2020 vote approaches. Russia was accused of meddling in the 2016 election race and the allegations, which Russia denied, prompted a near two-year long investigation led by Robert Mueller. The probe said that the Russian government interfered in “sweeping and systematic fashion” and had been designed to favor Trump a

They’ve also been vocal about the fact they’d prefer people didn’t climb Uluru, as this was seldom allowed in the past. Eighty percent of tourists to Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park respected the request, although the other 20% chose to haul themselves up the rock’s 348-meter (1,141 feet) surface regardless. The climbing ban was marked by a ceremony by the Anangu, the original owners of the land that is now part of Uluru-Kata-Tjuta National Park. Tourism NT/Mitchell CoxWalking all or part of Ulur

China could launch its own digital currency within the next 6 to 12 months, in what could become a challenge to the U.S. dollar’s global dominance, according to fund manager Edith Yeung. Asked how soon a virtual yuan could become a reality, she said it could be “quite soon.” “So I think definitely within the next six to 12 months,” said Yeung. State media reported that President Xi Jinping said China should look to take a lead in the technology. That’s because they are key to facilitate and mana

China and the United States are fighting the “wrong war” by imposing tariffs worth billions of dollars on each other, according to a senior executive at Beijing-based think tank. “The trade war, or the tariff war, is the wrong war to fight,” said Gao, who is also a regular commentator for state-owned China Global Television Network. China will not surrender to the United States as far as the trade war is concerned. Acknowledging problems that persist in the Chinese market, he said solving them r

The U.K.’s Conservative Party renamed one of its official Twitter accounts to “factcheckUK” Tuesday night, masquerading as a political fact-checking service in the midst of a televized pre-election debate. Britain’s ruling political party also temporarily replaced its profile picture with a check mark, seemingly in an effort to make social media users assume it was a verified fact checker. Its Twitter handle, @CCHQPress, was however unchanged, and its cover photo stated it was from the communica

The order is valued at $8.8 billion at list prices, but a steep discount is typically negotiated by airlines. Clark in October revealed lofty plans to expand the Emirates fleet by 30% by the end of 2025. In addition to its order of 30 Boeing jets Wednesday, it announced an order of 50 Air

U.S. tech firms could face new challenges in Europe amid a growing debate about data privacy and security. Some European leaders across the 28-member bloc are voicing concerns about the reliance on American and Chinese tech companies for storing data. Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany said last week that many European companies have outsourced their data to U.S. firms. Six out of the 10 biggest tech companies in the world are American; and there is no European firm among that list. Rather than
