“According to data from the National Partnership for Women & Families, a nonprofit and nonpartisan advocacy group dedicated to promoting fairness and equity in the workplace, Latina women are paid 54 cents for every dollar a non-Hispanic white man makes.”
“Sharita Gruberg, vice president for economic justice at the National Partnership for Women and Families, said there will need to be sufficient monitoring and enforcement from the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to ensure that underrepresented workers aren‚Äôt being pushed out of jobs due to sexual harassment and discrimination.”
“National Partnership for Women & Families reported that recent data on the women‚Äôs labor force found Black women‚Äôs participation rates remained the highest of any group since data collection started 50 years ago.”
“Black women make 64 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men, according to a report by the National Partnership for Women and Families. Latina women make 54 cents and Native American women 51 cents.”
The National Partnership for Women & Families is releasing a new report, “Women‚Äôs Work Is Undervalued, and It’s Costing Us Billions,” which details the negative effects of job segregation on women in the workforce, and its particular impacts on women of color and women with disabilities.
“Black women often have the highest labor force participation rate of any group of women, yet stereotypes about their desire to work are still pervasive, said Jocelyn Frye, the president of the National Partnership for Women & Families.”
“The National Partnership for Women and Families calculates the wage gap for each state and estimates the difference in annual median earnings between Pennsylvania women and men is a little over $14,000. That has a real impact on women’s ability to pay for health care, child care, student loans and more.”
“According to statistics compiled by the National Partnership for Women & Families, across the U.S., women still earn, on average, just 77 cents for every dollar paid to men, resulting in a gap of $11,782 each year‚Äîand the disparity is worse for women of color. In Rhode Island, the average, annual gender wage gap is $10,754, according the National Partnership for Women & Families.”
“Occupational segregation, the reality that women are concentrated in certain jobs, typically low-paid service sector positions, drives half of the gender pay gap, according to the National Partnership for Women & Families.”
“A new report from the National Partnership for Women and Families digs into some of the causes of these inequities. The biggest driver, according to the report, is “occupational segregation.” The term points to the historical and structural factors that effectively sort women and men toward different fields, driving inequities.”
“If the 10 occupations with the most women workers paid the same average wages as the top 10 fields for employing men, about 12 million women might’ve taken home an extra $96 billion in 2021, according to a new report from the National Partnership for Women & Families.”
“On average, women employed in the United States lose a combined $1.6 trillion every year due to the wage gap, according to the National Partnership for Women and Families.”
