the gap

The gender pay gap is a key indicator of economic inequality, reflecting systemic barriers that continue to impact women’s financial stability and opportunity, particularly across racial and ethnic lines. This infographic showcases the disparity in earnings between women of different races and ethnicities compared to White, non-Hispanic men from 1988 to 2022. The percentages illustrate how much women earn as a fraction of what White, non-Hispanic men earn. The gender pay gap remains a critical issue, with significant variations across different racial and ethnic groups. While progress has been made over the years, the data underscores the need for continued efforts to achieve pay equity for all women.
