New research reveals employment & wage gap for trans people in US
Transgender people in the United States are less likely to be employed and are more likely to receive lower wages compared to non-transgender people, according to new research from Trinity Business School and Technological University Dublin.The researchers utilised a sample from the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System of 440,000 individuals in the United States to examine to what extent differences in important employment and wage related characteristics, such as education, family and health related productivity characteristics, explain the difference in employment gaps and wage gaps.The research reveals that on average transgender persons are 11.7% less likely to be employed than equivalent non-transgender persons and that as much.
