March is Women’s History Month, a time to recognize and honor the contributions women have made to society. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the ongoing struggle for gender equality in the workplace and beyond.  Even with progress in recent years, significant gender disparities persist in the American labor force. Women continue to face barriers in the workplace - unequal pay, disparity in promotions, incidents of sexual harassment, and racism. For example, working women in the United States earn just 82 cents for every dollar earned by men, and the pay gap is even wider for women of color.

Since the start of 2023, around 300 big technology companies have laid off close to 100,000 workers. If layoffs continue at this rate, the technology industry could make just under 1 million cuts by the end of the year.

February is Black History Month, a recognized celebration of the contributions African Americans have made to this country. Now is an opportunity to learn and reflect on the current state of the American labor force for Black employees and the continued struggle for racial justice and career advancement. 

Despite the progress that has been made to reduce the inequality between how much men and women are paid, there is still a significant gender pay gap. This wage gap has decreased in size but has never been closed. In fact, according to the Global Gender Gap Report 2022, it will take another 132 years to close the global gender gap. The pay gap difference still stands at 17%, which is almost $20 less for females for every $100 a male makes. Here are revealing statistics everyone should know about the global gender wage gap.

When you are looking for a new job, it can be difficult to gauge how an organization’s culture and values align with your own. In today’s employment landscape, companies that are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are increasingly making their initiatives known and easy to find. According to a Glassdoor survey, “67% of job seekers consider workplace diversity an important factor when considering employment opportunities, and more than 50% of current employees want their workplace to do more to increase diversity.”
