Pay equity rankings only tell us who is visible in the data.

When national systems choose not to measure race, entire communities become invisible in policy conversations. Without that visibility, there is no way to design targeted solutions, track progress, or ensure accountability.

Support Future Black Females’ Black Women’s Economic Security program to research, empower women, and enhance their career advancement.
