Wages and Salaries Gap
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics LGBTQ+ workers earn about 90 cents for every dollar the typical worker earns.2 Earning less can have substantial impact when saving for retirement, a home, or starting a family. Having a plan in place that accounts for the wage difference can mean the difference between achieving your financial goals and simply wishing you had taken the first step toward your goals.
