In a further boost to gender equality, she revealed that the list of organizations committing to the California Equal Pay Pledge has grown to over 200 organizations—more than double the number from 2023. Together, these efforts underscore a significant drive to reduce California’s wage gap that costs the state’s women an estimated $87 billion annually.
Despite the growing number of businesses signing the pledge, several of the largest California-based corporations, including Meta, Alphabet, and Disney, remain absent from the list.

The more precise the job descriptions, the better the gender comparison will be. Once jobs are standardized, organizations need to conduct thorough evaluations to identify any wage discrepancies. Larger organizations may need to perform complex statistical analyses to uncover these disparities, while smaller companies can use simpler methods. Organizations should then resolve any pay differences and strive to understand the underlying causes of the discrepancies.
