The gender pay gap is a calculation that reflects the fact that, on average, women are paid less than men. In 2020, that was 83 cents to every dollar. Women of Color, per usual, get an even smaller piece of the pie. Black women were paid 64%, and Hispanic women (of any race) were paid 57% of what white non-Hispanic men were paid (according to a study conducted by the Women’s Bureau in tandem with the U.S. Census Bureau).
What’s worse is that the majority of the gap between men and women’s wages cannot be explained through measurable differences!
This isn't just about numbers and policies; it's about the voices that often go unheard. Jessica and Brandon are shining a spotlight on the double-edged sword faced by women of color, mothers, and those re-entering the workforce.
Tune in as they dissect the paradoxical undervaluing of women in the workforce, even when they bring identical qualifications and experience to the table.
