Black workers earn much less than similarly qualified white workers, at all levels of education, research suggests.
Analysis
of pay data by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) suggests that the
difference in average pay rates amounts to a gap of 23%.Black graduates earn on average £14.33 an hour, compared with £18.63 earned by white graduates, the TUC says.
The average pay gap between black and white workers with A-levels is 14%.
And at GCSE level the gap is 11%, the TUC says.Race still plays a huge role in determining pay.
"The harsh reality is that at any level of education, black and Asian workers are getting paid less than their white counterparts.
"The government cannot afford to ignore these figures and must now take genuine action to tackle pay discrimination."
