Most employers are aware of the pay gaps that exist for women and people of color — but have they noticed the pay disparities among their LGBTQIA employees?
According to a Human Rights Campaign survey of nearly 7,000 queer-identifying workers, LGBTQ+ talent makes 90 cents for every dollar a cisgender, heterosexual employee makes. This gap only widens when that employee is also a woman, person of color, trans or all of the above. Trans women are disadvantaged the most, making just 60 cents on the dollar.
