Overall, Hispanic women who work full time earn a median weekly salary of just $460 a week, according to a recent Pew Hispanic Center analysis of Current Population Survey data. That compares with $615 for non-Hispanic women.
Hispanic women born in the U.S. fared better than Hispanic immigrants, making $540 a week compared with $400 for immigrants, according to the Pew data. Mexican immigrants made the least, with median earnings of only $368 a week. That’s just 60 cents for every dollar earned by a non-Hispanic woman.
However, Hispanic women do earn nearly 90 cents for every dollar earned by Hispanic men, according to the Pew data. That’s less of a wage gap than the 77 cents non-Hispanic women earn for ever dollar earned by non-Hispanic men.”*
