Interesting Article about income Disparities and Women.
Saturday, March 13th, 2010Seriously, I did a double take upon reading this:
“New Study Finds Median Wealth of Black Women Is $5″
We all knew there were disparities between the races and between the sexes BUT WOW. Here is the money quote:
Last but not least, women of color are more likely to use their own financial resources to help out extended family members. With a history of exclusion from public benefits and economic opportunities afforded to whites, women of color know they are relied on and must rely on others in their families and communities when hard times hit.
Check out the whole thing and then come back here and lets talk in the comments section about how we can change some of these disparities.
