According to the annual Report on the Status of Women and Girls in California, women made 88% of what men made in 2021 and the gap is larger among different ethnic groups.

The median earnings for a White woman working full-time in 2021, for instance, equaled $73,059. At the other end of the scale, Latinas earned $40,524.A new report analyzing how women and girls in California are faring in areas like healthcare and employment shows some promising statistics, but many say there's still plenty of work to be done when it comes to the wage gap.

"This report allows us to come together, share the data, which is critical, ask people to share it with their networks, but it also allows us to come together in conversation, and that's really where the hope come, because the data is pretty sobering," said Mount Saint Mary's University President Ann McElaney-Johnson.

Because men are better at everything

Which category did they put trans women in?
