A debugging thought process

Ensuring equal pay for equal work

In their latest update, Microsoft has gotten pretty damn close to equal pay for equal work. There’s still some work to be done for Latin & Hispanic populations and women in general, but this is progress. And I appreciate the honesty.

Here are the stats for U.S. employees, assuming the same job title and level:

  • Women earn 99.8¢ for every $1 earned by a man;
  • Racial/ethnic minorities earn $1.004 for every $1 earned by a Caucasian employee;
  • African American/Black employees earn $1.003 for every $1 earned by Caucasian employees;
  • Hispanic/Latin employees earn 99.9¢ for every $1 earned by Caucasian employees; and
  • Asian employees earn $1.006 for every $1 earned by Caucasian employees.
