New York City’s recent council report on pay equity finds that women, Black and Latino city employees are still the most chronically underpaid.
“Pay disparities for women and people of color remain a persistent issue in our city and country, hampering economic opportunities,” said Speaker Adrienne Adams. “The inequities for Black women are particularly striking, with our making 58 cents for every dollar earned by a white man. These disparities are not just unfair, but also harmful to our economy and communities.
Women on average make $.73 to every dollar men make, Black employees make $.71 to every dollar white employees make, Hispanic or Latino employees make $.75 to every dollar white employees make, and Asian employees make $.85 to every dollar white employees make, said the report. Middleton said it is incumbent upon the city to take the bold steps necessary to create equality for all in the workforce, especially considering many women and minorities are heads of their households.
