CHARTS: How Unequal Pay Is Even More Unequal For Some Women
By Annie-Rose Strasser posted from ThinkProgress Economy on Apr 17, 2012 at 4:40 pm
Today is Equal Pay Day, the day that women completed the extra 3.5 months of work they needed in order to make an equal amount to what men earned in 2011. And while it is fairly common knowledge that women make 77 cents for a man’s dollar in the workplace — which is why we need to work 15.5 months to match a man’s 12 — it’s not as well known that the pay gap is much worse for some women than others. For instance:
Women make less by industry: Women tend to work in lower-paying industries: 68 percent of jobs in education are held by women, as are 78 percent of health and social assistance jobs. But even within those industries where they are the vast majority of employees, women are paid significantly less than their male counterparts. This chart from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows the percentage of men’s income that women make in given sectors. In some of the biggest industries for female employment, men still make significantly more:
Black and Latina women are still struggling much more than their white counterparts: While women make less than men, black and Latina women make significantly less — black women make just 69 cents, and Latinas just 60 for every dollar made by men. At the same time, women of color are more often single mothers and thus the primary earners for their families. This chart from NYU’s Wagner school illustrates (PDF) the wage disparities:
