Major Local Employers Ranked on Gender Pay Equity

Scorecard Produced by Women’s Issues and Coalition for Pay Equity

Full-time working women earn 83 cents for every dollar paid to a man. If part-time workers are included, the ratio drops to 73 cents.  The gap widens for Blacks, Native Americans, Latinas, and other women of color.  Black, Native American and Latina women earn 58 cents, 50 cents and 49 cents for every dollar a white, non-Hispanic man earns.

The Coalition for Pay Equity (CPE) is a group of local nonprofits organized in 2020 by LWVCM. CPE has produced a Scorecard (attached below) ranking seven major Charlotte Mecklenburg companies on pay differences between men and women and related occupational segregation by sex.

Rankings are based on data the companies have released to the public and are a result of a two-year study by the Coalition of a few of the largest employers in Charlotte.  The companies in the Scorecard are:

• Atrium Health
• Bank of America
• Duke Energy
• Lowe’s
• Novant Health
• Truist
• Wells Fargo
