Plot 1: DI of all groups by salary range (2023)

The dotted line represents equitable representation (a DI of 1). It can been seen that Black employees are overrepresented at the lower salary ranges and underrepresented at higher ranges compared to the other groups. As can be seen by the “Non-Visible Minority Employees” bars, an equal DI across all salary ranges should be expected.

Plot 2: A direct comparison of DI in Black Employees vs. Non-Visible Minority Employees (2023)

This plot zooms in on our “baseline” group and compares it to the Black employee group, which appears to be the most affected by inequity. A steady decrease in representation with each increase in salary range is clearly visible for the Black employee group.
