The Lifetime Wage Gap by State for Indigenous Women
Based on today’s full-time, year-round wage gap, Indigenous women entering the workforce now stand to lose $1,272,720 over the course of a 40-year career compared to white, non-Hispanic men. Indigenous women’s career losses based on today’s wage gap would amount to more than $1 million in 30 states, including Maryland, California, and New Jersey where they lose over $2 million.
