Black women will not achieve equal pay with white men for at least another century, according to a report.

"Because Black women are over-represented in the sectors hit hardest by the pandemic, service sector, hospitality and leisure, even though the overall unemployment for women in general has dropped by about two percentage points, the unemployment rate for Black women still remains high, at about 14%," said Mason."When you couple that with having to show up to work, facing childcare demands when schools are closed, it puts Black women in a very precarious situation.

Publix grocery store cashier wears a face mask, gloves and new plexiglass shield protection in Miami Beach, Fla. "It translates directly into money not in their pockets to save for economic downturns like the one we find ourselves in, to send their children to college," she said."It’s also less money, again, that Black women have to save, to invest, to start a new business, and ultimately to provide for their families."

"It’s the intersection of both racism and sexism," she said."It’s a double whammy for Black women in the workforce.", the organization founded by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, found that disparities for Black women are rooted in the workplace.

This is complete BS

Funny. They just lump all black women's pay together and all white men's pay together and demand equality. Obama did the same thing with women and men.

Pathetic!

No one achieves the same pay as white men.

More race baiting from the crap news network..

It should be equal to equal qualifications equal work no distinction between men and women in all ways Treatment equally as one of the guys Equal pay

Once again, so will not White Women achieve equal pay. When did equal pay become about race? White Women are affected by this as well.

Omg Americans are so racist. Enough already!

So that's why greedy ass corporations hire nothing but black women! Is what I'd be saying if this were true!

So we’re headed in the right direction?
