Pay disparities are pervasive among non-faculty California State University employees, with workers of color and women earning less than white male workers, a new analysis from the California State University Employees Union found.
Black and Hispanic men and women experience the most severe pay gaps, according to the salary data analysis, released Tuesday. The union represents about 16,000 non-faculty workers overall, including custodians, health care workers, administrators and IT specialists.
The average monthly salary of a worker covered by the union is $4,753, according to the study. White workers earn about $302 less than Asian workers, but earn $579 more than Black workers, $901 more than Hispanic workers, and $545 more than multi-racial, Native American and Pacific Islander workers. Men in general make about $436 more than women.
