Bar chart showing that women and workers of color represent the highest percentages of workers in the lowest-paying occupations.
Hover over or click to see values.

Note: The top 10 lowest paying occupations are identifed by their average wages, for those who have earned a wage. The authors have only included occupations with at least 50,000 employed workers aged 20 or older. The percentages do not add up to 100 percent because not all groups are represented and Hispanic or Latino people can identify as any race.
