Across these occupations, the pay disparities are largest among physicians and surgeons: Latina doctors are paid 68% of the average hourly wage of white male doctors (a difference of $20.46 per hour). #LatinaEqualPayDay
Latina teachers and child care workers are paid just 84% of what white men are paid in their respective occupations. #LatinaEqualPayDay
Not only are Latina workers earning less, they are also experiencing higher unemployment from the pandemic-driven economic downturn as a result of being heavily concentrated in the leisure and hospitality industry, which was hardest hit by job losses.
Between 2019 and 2020 the number of full-time, year-round Latina earners declined 17.4%, compared with a 9.2% decline for white men.
Latina workers have been among the most hurt by the COVID-19 pandemic and economic shock. It is incumbent upon policymakers to ensure a strong and equitable recovery and equal pay. #LatinaEqualPayDay
