A Look at the Wage Gap for African American Women in 20 States
- New Analysis Reveals Punishing Wage Gap in States with the Largest Number of African American Women in the Workforce
-
WASHINGTON, D.C. – As the 113th Congress begins, a new analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data released today shows that an important constituency – African American women – are suffering from a pervasive gender-based wage gap in the very states where the majority of them work. In the 20 states with the largest number of African American women who work full time, year round, the wage gap ranges from 55 and 87 cents for every dollar paid to men in those states.
The analysis was conducted by the National Partnership for Women & Families. The state-specific findings for all 20 states can be found at www.NationalPartnership.org/AAGap. (The National Partnership conducted a matching analysis for Latinas in 20 states. It can be found here: www.NationalPartnership.org/LatinaGap.)
“Women of color are hard hit by a kind of perfect – and perfectly devastating – storm caused by discrimination, a struggling economy and the country’s failure to adopt family friendly workplace policies,” said Debra L. Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women & Families. “These new data show that the wage gap is costing women of color thousands of dollars in critical income each year that could be spent on food, rent, health care and on meeting other fundamental needs for their families. It’s an unacceptable situation that should be a resounding wake-up call for lawmakers who have the power to do something about it.”
According to the new analysis:
Among the 20 states with the largest populations of African American women working full time, year round, the wage gap is most severe in Louisiana and Mississippi, where women are paid just 55 cents and 61 cents, respectively, for every dollar paid to men in their states.
California’s gap is smallest for African American women among the states analyzed, but African American women still lose $6,342 each year compared to men in the state.
African American women in Florida, Illinois and Missouri are paid just 73 cents for every dollar paid to their states’ men.
In New York, which has the highest population of employed African American women in the country, African American women are paid 79 cents for every dollar paid to men in the state.
And African American women in Texas are paid 78 cents for every dollar paid to Texas men.
Wage gap information for each of the 20 states with the large numbers of employed African American women can be found at www.NationalPartnership.org/AAGap.
Nationally, African American women are paid just 70 cents for every dollar paid to all men. That amounts to a loss of $14,701 each year. In general, women of color fare worse than women overall, who are paid 77 cents for every dollar paid to all men – or $11,084 less per year.
According to the new analysis, eliminating the national wage gap would mean that African American women and their families would have enough money for more than two years’ worth of food, 4,549 gallons of gas, more than 16 months of rent, almost 10 months’ worth of mortgage and utilities payments, or more than three years of family health insurance premiums. The loss of these basic necessities can be especially punishing during tough economic times, and it adds up over a lifetime.
The Paycheck Fairness Act would close loopholes in the Equal Pay Act and establish stronger workplace protections for women. The U.S. House of Representatives passed it in 2009, and it came two votes short of moving forward in the Senate in 2010. Its introduction in the 113th Congress is expected early this year.
“Make no mistake about it, lawmakers have the power to help close this gap and promote economic security for women and families in their districts,” Ness continued. “Lawmakers who are serious about rebuilding our economy and valuing families will work to address discrimination and the punishing wag gap that results. Hardworking women deserve to be paid fairly no matter where they live or their race. By overwhelming majorities, Americans know this and support federal action. It’s time for Congress to act.”
The National Partnership for Women & Families is a nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy group dedicated to promoting fairness in the workplace, access to quality health care, and policies that help women and men meet the dual demands of work and family.

(BPRW) Wells Fargo commits to lending $55 billion to women-owned businesses by the year 2020
(BLACK PR WIRE) – SAN FRANCISCO, March 8, 2013 – Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC), America’s No. 1 small business lender1 and a leading lender to women- and diverse-owned businesses, today announced a commitment to lend a cumulative total of $55 billion to women-owned businesses in the U.S. by the year 2020, updating its lending commitment first established in 1995. The announcement will be made by Lisa Stevens, Wells Fargo lead executive for Small Business and West Coast Regional Banking president, at the Hispanas Organized for Political Equality (HOPE) 22nd Annual Latina History Day conference in Los Angeles.
March is National Women’s History Month, and Wells Fargo has a rich history of working with women business owners and providing them access to capital and financial services. Since introducing the women’s lending commitment 18 years ago, Wells Fargo has provided more than $38 billion in capital to women business owners, a group that grew in size by more than 20 percent from 2002 to 2007, according to the latest Census data. Today, approximately 30 percent of businesses in the U.S. are owned by women, according to the National Women’s Business Council.
“Women-owned businesses are among America’s fastest growing segments, and we are honored to support their role in shaping the future of small business,” said Stevens. “As a leader in lending to women, Wells Fargo is dedicated to helping women succeed financially — in business and personally.”
Wells Fargo’s first lending commitment in 1995 established a goal to lend $1 billion to women business owners over three years. Fueled by the continued growth of women business owners, the goal was increased, most recently in 2003.
In addition to the cumulative lending goal, Wells Fargo supports numerous outreach efforts to build relationships with women business owners and help them to succeed financially. Wells Fargo is a proud supporter of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and the Women Presidents’ Organization, as well as several other organizations focused on the education, growth and advancement of women business owners. Wells Fargo provides the full array of financial products and services to satisfy all of the financial needs of women-owned businesses, such as banking, business loans and lines of credit, credit cards, payroll, merchant services, insurance, retirement planning, and online resources.
For an example of how Wells Fargo helped meet the financing needs of one woman-owned small business, see the story of GLAMGLOW, a Los Angeles-based consumer products company owned by Shannon Dellimore.

Fierce Angels: Living with a Legacy, from the Sacred Dark Feminine to the Strong Black Woman
(Lawrence Hill Books, an imprint of Chicago Review Press, April 2013) by longtime NPR personality Sheri Parks, PhD., foreword by Marcia Ann Gillespie
The “Strong Black Woman” has been a part of mainstream culture for centuries, as a myth, a goddess, a positive role model, a stereotype, and as a burden. In *Fierce Angels,* Sheri Parks explores the concept of the Strong Black Woman, its influence on people of all races, and the ways in which black women respond to and are affected by this image.
Expanded and revised in a new edition, *Fierce Angels* originally published to great acclaim. Essence says, “Parks fearlessly dives into the minefield of race, sex and popular culture in her smart, sharp cultural study.” This edition includes two new chapters on the Sacred Dark Feminine in alchemy and Western literature and a final chapter on the political uses and further potential of the Strong Black Woman image in social justice movements in the U.S. and abroad.
