As American corporations announce a record number of diversity and inclusion initiatives, Silicon Valley has seen the wage gap narrow for all minority groups but one: Black women.

The wage gap for African American women widened to US$0.92 (RM4.05) for every US$1 (RM4.40) a White man earns in 2021 from US$0.94 (RM4.14) a year earlier, according to a new report by Hired, an online marketplace for tech jobs.
