Diversity Pays
It has been long established that black men and minorities paid less in job than white majority. There are of course many possible reason behind the differences in average wages between races groups. For example, white men may be more educated than black men, geographic, ages, immigrations rates, and occupational may differ.[1]

Black Women Pay Gap
Women of color in the United States face the impact of the country's ongoing and systemic income inequality. The disparities reflect the real-world repercussions of patriarchy and white supremacy in the United States, as well as how our society routinely undervalues people of color and their work. The size of pay gap among women who hold full-time, year-round jobs by race/ethnicity revealed by the U.S. Census Bureau. Women sacrifice income as a result of the cents-on-the-dollar disparity, resulting in less money to support themselves and their families.
Based on US census bureau 2020, black women are typically paid just 63 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. The median annual pay for a Black woman in the United States who holds a fulltime, year-round job is $41,098, while the median annual pay for a white, non-Hispanic man who holds a full-time, year-round job is $65,208 – a difference of $24,110per year.[2]
