About this Webcast

Our recent labor market research finds that wage gaps by race/ethnicity and gender remain large in the US. Our analysis shows that wage gaps between non-Hispanic White and Black and Hispanic workers are especially large and have actually increased in recent years. Several factors contribute to these gaps. Access to education seems an important predictor of wage differences, but even taking educational attainment into account, wage gaps continue to exist. A second, important predictor is the lack of representation of some groups in higher paying jobs, occupations, and industries.  Despite the heightened awareness to wage and wealth disparities and multiple attempts to address them, these wage gaps have been widening.  Join us for a special webcast as experts from The Conference Board discuss our findings.
