due to the wage gap. If she and a white male counterpart started a job at the same time, this would mean that a black woman would have to work until age 86 to make what her white male colleague earned by age 60.

Value black women’s work Take note of the hardworking, driven, motivated black women around you and value their contributions, Bell said. With many black women coming into the workforce with business degrees from top-tier schools, there’s still an expectation that they will have to work twice as hard for promotions, Bell added.

So if they get paid less, then why aren't businesses hiring more of them to save money?

😂😂😂 NBC- Every one of our viewers is RACIST. ~The End~ Now you don't need to sit through our newscasts with endlessly depressing anti-depressant drug commercials. 💊💉

They only have to work 7 1/2 months to make what white men make in 12? Cool story, idiots!

So black women have to work till august while white men have to work the whole year?
