Native Women in the Labor Force

This focus of this paper is summarizing Native American women in the labor force. Annual earnings, labor force participation, and professional occupations compared to their male equivalents and women of other racial and ethnic groups.
Native American women are not only outearned by men, but also by Asian American and white women by as much as $6000 to $8000 annually. Native American women earn three-fifths of what white men earn(59.8 percent), while Asian American women earn 78 percent, white women earn 73.1 percent, and African American women earning 63.2 percent of what white men earn(Williams;May 20, 2008).
Although Native American women( along with white women) have the second highest labor force participation, they are significantly less likely to hold managerial and/or professional jobs than white women or whiteand Asian American men(Williams; May 20, 2008).
In conclusion; Native American women are at a distinct disadvantage compared to white men and women, as well as other ethnic groups with regards to income, managerial, and professional occupations.
