In September 2017, 114 employers participated in the Boston Women’s Workforce Council’s (BWWC) second Boston 100% Talent Compact data submission. These businesses and nonprofits reported data on almost 167,000 employees, or roughly 16% of the Greater Boston workforce. These data indicate that women, on average, earned 76 cents to a man’s dollar. This gender wage gap varied by job category and race, with women of color earning on average significantly less than white women.
