racial pay gap
Ethnicity-based earnings difference
The racial pay gap is the difference in average earnings between workers of different racial or ethnic groups, typically measuring how much less minority workers earn compared to white workers in the same economy.
The gap persists even when controlling for factors like education and experience: The racial pay gap costs Black women thousands of dollars annually.
