As part of LGBTQIA+ Equal Pay Awareness day, join the BWWC team in learning more about the wage gap experienced by LGBTQIA+ workers and the related discrimination this community faces by exploring the resources below. Thank you to the Paycheck Fairness Act Coalition for providing the following resources:

• HRC Foundation: The Wage Gap Among LGBTQ+ Workers in the United States

• Badgett et al.: LGBT Poverty in the United States 

• Bianca D.M. Wilson and Kerith J. Conron: National Estimates of Food Insecurity: LGBT people and COVID-19

The BWWC stands in solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community and is committed to exploring ways to close our data gap for LGBTQIA+ workers.
