In 2024, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women earned approximately 83 cents for every dollar paid to non-Hispanic White men, a widely cited benchmark that offers an important snapshot of overall pay equity. However, when broken down by ethnicity, some groups—including Afghan, Bangladeshi, and Burmese women—faced substantially wider wage gaps, underscoring the need for targeted policy solutions that reflect the diversity of AANHPI communities.
