According to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, the average white woman is paid 80.5 cents to every male dollar earned in 2017. For women of color, the gap is significantly larger. Black women earn 65 cents to every dollar and Native American women earn 57 cents to every dollar. This leaves Latinas to earn 54 cents to every white non-Hispanic male’s dollar.
