Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Minority workers and women have faced systematic inequality for decades. This disparity was recently worsened, reversing any progress due to the economic turmoil caused by COVID-19.
The COVID-19 disruption highlighted the vulnerabilities and disproportionately affected women and people of color, leaving many unemployed. Because of societal norms, women were forced to leave the workforce and take on caretaking roles, making women’s labor participation hit a 33-year low. The wage gap statistics below highlight the inequality and show we are still far from closing the pay gap.
The gender or wage gap refers to the difference in earnings between workers with similar job characteristics based on their gender or race. The pay gap exists in every profession, for every age group, and at every educational level. There has been an enormous amount of evidence and data suggesting that women, especially women of color, consistently earn less than men for no other attainable reason besides gender or race. These differences may seem small but can amount to hundreds of thousands and more over a lifetime of earnings.
The statistics above are just a reminder of the obstacles and barriers women and people of color go through in their careers. By gathering these wage gap statistics, we hope to paint a clearer picture of the racial and gender economic disparity.
