Asian women face the smallest wage gap â they earn 84% of what white men earn, resulting in a pay gap of 16%. White women earn 75% of what white men do, while black women earn 65% and Hispanic women earn 55%. The Senate report noted that women of color face a far smaller pay gap when compared to men of color. Black women earn 82% of what black men do, and Hispanic women make 88% of what Hispanic men do. The larger disparity between white men's and women of color's earnings could be attributed to the fact that women of color suffer both because of their gender and their race, the report says.
