Report detailing the Comptroller’s Office’s work with minority- and women-owned investment firms and emerging managers and with MWBE professionals in municipal finance.
Since the moment COVID-19 arrived in New York City, the burden of the pandemic’s many challenges have fallen heaviest on women, especially women of color.
In this policy brief, the second in a series on the economic experiences of women of color, the Comptroller’s Office further analyzes U.S. Census Bureau earnings data to examine the scale and impact of the gender wage gap specifically for Latinas in New York City.
This study provides a statistical snapshot of women’s employment and earnings in New York City government and identifies gender disparities that warrant further investigation. Women, who compose 56 percent of the New York City municipal workforce, still face challenges in achieving pay equity.
