RACIAL & GENDER WAGE GAP

"BIG IDEAS COME FROM FOWARD THINKING PEOPLE WHO CHALLENGE THE NORM, RATHER THAN SUBMITTING TO THE LIMITATIONS OF CURRENT DILEMMAS.

WHY?
"Canadian-born individuals of Latin American ancestry earned, on average, 31.7 per cent less than their Caucasian peers."
WHY?
Canadian born Black individuals "earned about 80.4 cents for every dollar earned by their Caucasian peers."
This is what we can not comprehend. When some companies hire a person, they believe that the job requires both a penis & white skin?

The following data is from the Canadian Conference Board.
In Canada, university-educated Canadian-born members of a visible minority earn, on average, 87.4 cents for every dollar earned by their Caucasian peers.
The Atlantic provinces have the smallest gaps in earnings between visible minorities and Caucasians, ranging from 7.3 per cent in Nova Scotia to 12.9 per cent in New Brunswick.
The gap in earnings among Canadian-born individuals of different ethnic ancestry varies, individuals of Japanese ancestry earned 3.7 per cent more than their Caucasian peers, whereas individuals of Latin American ancestry earned, on average, 31.7 per cent less than their Caucasian peers.
Putting the racial wage gap in context
Canada is one of the most racially diverse countries in the world, home to over 6.2 million people who identified themselves as a member of a visible minority group. Of these, 30.9 per cent (over 1.9 million people) were born in Canada. To date, the three largest visible minority groups in Canada are South Asian, Chinese, and Black.
South Asians (individuals who reported East Indian, Pakistani, or Sri Lankan ethnic ancestry) accounted for 25 per cent of the total visible minority population and 4.8 per cent of Canada’s total population. Individuals of Chinese ancestry made up over 21 per cent of the total visible minority population and 4 percent of the total population. Individuals who identified as Black (either alone or with other ancestral origins, such as Jamaican, Haitian, Trinidadian/Tobagonian, or Somali) made up over 15 per cent of the total visible minority population and 2.9 per cent of the total population.
