Figures show wide variety of experiences for ethnic minorities in England and Wales
The pay gap between white and ethnic minority employees in England and Wales has narrowed to its smallest level since consistent records began in 2012, the Office for National Statistics has said.
The ONS found that median hourly earnings in 2019 for white workers were £12.40 an hour – just more than 2% higher than the £12.11 an hour for ethic minority workers. The gap is down from a peak of more than 8% in the mid-2010s.
