Black women continue to trail their white counterparts in employment outcomes and equal wages. Their labor participation rate stands higher, yet their rate of occupying higher-level jobs, stability, promotion, benefits, and greater mobility remains lower. Black women are paid only 62 cents to every dollar paid to non-Hispanic, white male counterparts. This means that throughout their career, these women will lose over $946,000 due to the wage gap.
