This year, November 18 marks Native Women’s Equal Pay Day. In 2023, at the median, all employed Native American women, whether they worked full-time, part-time, full-year, or part-year, earned 53.6 cents per dollar compared to White men, and Native American women working full-time year- round earned 59.0 cents per dollar compared to White men. This substantial pay gap is persistent, is found across states, and has not improved from year to year. In 14 out of the 40 states with sufficient sample sizes for analysis, the earnings ratio for Native American women compared to White men worsened from 2022 to 2023. Put simply, this means that many Native American women’s earnings were less in 2023 than they were in 2022. Read more in our latest fact sheet.
