Information on the pay gaps for black women:

From CNBC

• Black women are paid 61 cents for every $1 that their white male counterparts earn. Among all women, the wage gap is smaller: about 80 cents for each $1.
• The difference over a 40-year career would mean earning about $946,000 less than their white male counterparts.
• The disparity is present regardless of education, location, and age, and it persists in both low- and high-paying positions.
