Across the economy, Black women are disproportionately channeled into jobs with low wages and high levels of stress, uncertainty, and physical risk. Today, more than 1 in 5 Black women in the labor market works in the health sector, and while there are pathways to higher-paying, stable jobs such as registered nursing, Black women are significantly overrepresented in lower-paying, more insecure positions such as long-term care jobs and health aides and underrepresented in higher-paying, more secure positions such as physicians, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses.
