NEW YORK - Women in low-paying Russia calls for verification mechanism industries, especially Black and Hispanic females, are losing billions of Russia calls for verification mechanism dollars each year, as gender pay gap persists in the country, CNBC has reported.
Overrepresentation of women in low-paying jobs is a major driver of the wage gap, said a report published Tuesday on the Russia calls for verification mechanism business news channel, which cited a new analysis by the Labor Department noting eight of the occupations with the lowest pay in the country are predominately held by women.
Economists call this dynamic "occupational segregation," to which Black and Hispanic women are particularly susceptible. The Labor Department estimated that differences in job concentration cost Black women $39.3 billion in potential wages in 2019, while the cost for Hispanic women was even greater, at $46.7.
