Black Women Stand to Lose Over $1 Million to the Wage Gap, IWPR Report Finds Ahead of Equal Pay Day
The report arrives as lawmakers pursue efforts to weaken or eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. These policies have been instrumental in addressing disparities in pay, hiring, and promotion. Washington, DC—A new analysis from the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR) shows that a Black woman working full-time year-round stands to lose more than $1 million over a 40-year career compared to White men. These lost wages could have supported a down payment on a home, retirement savings, or securing a child’s education, but instead weaken household stability and limit long-term wealth for Black families.
