Do Minorities earn less in the Actuarial Profession?

vendredi 10 octobre 2014

I realize that this is generally a difficult topic to have a serious discussion on, and that it's something more akin to something in the Political section. I am hoping that some high level people might be willing to anonymously provide some data points. I would think that there would be some people on this forum that might have a staff of 20 or more (maybe 50) and could answer this. I don't want to get into who does what type thing, more a years of experience and exams comparison.



The question is inspired by the following article:

SAN FRANCISCO — Hispanics, Asians and blacks are not getting equal pay for equal work in the high-tech industry.



That's the finding of new research that shows Hispanics earn $16,353 a year less on average than their colleagues who are not Hispanic.



In the same high-skilled positions such as computer programmers and software developers, Asians make $8,146 less than whites and blacks $3,656 less than whites, according to the report from the American Institute for Economic Research.



"What this tells us is that race and ethnicity matter, and they matter a lot," said Nicole Kreisberg, the senior research analyst who conducted the research. "Simply increasing diversity is not enough. We also have to talk about money."
