Intersectionality of Race, Gender, and Class in Wage Disparities

Quick fact

In the United States, Black women earned about 63 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men in 2022—a gap wider than the sum of the racial gap for Black men (about 73%) and the gender gap for white women (about 83%) would predict, highlighting the intersectional effect.

Why this is interesting

You've heard about the gender pay gap and the racial pay gap. But what happens when a Black woman is paid less than a white woman? Is it just race plus gender, or something more?
