Income inequality greater among minority women
“The gender wage gap in Georgia isn’t as wide as in much of the nation, yet women in the state still earn 18 percent less than men. Data shows Georgia ranks 17th in the gender pay gap, slightly above the median wage gap of 20 percent. The pay inequality nationwide is especially worse among minority groups, with Latina, African-American and Native American women, as well as those with disabilities, feeling the disparity the most.”
