Three Takeaways
I want to address the intersection of Latinas and race, self-perception, and the gender wage gap issues endemic in our culture.
Latina Wage Gap and Higher Education
“Additionally, the wage gap widens for educated Latinas. Latinas are pursuing higher education more than ever before but education does not eliminate the wage gap. Data found that the gap is in fact largest for Latinas with a bachelor’s degree.
Latina Leadership Dearth
Despite increasing gains in educational attainment and presence in the labor force, Latinas are systematically and disproportionately underrepresented in leadership positions across industries and leader levels in the United States.
Latina Wage Gap Worsening
For Latinas, it’s now 49 cents: In 2022, Latina Women’s Equal Pay Day won’t pass until December 8.” For white women, the gap shortened to 89 cents to a typical men’s dollar, up one cent from the previous year.
