Wage gap: ethnicity by age group

People of Pacific Island descent are the lowest paid workers in the country.

Now the Human Rights Commission is launching an inquiry into why that is exactly - examining equal pay, pay parity and pay equity issues and the extent of what it says is discrimination against Pasifika.

The only positive feature I see in this graph is that the wage gap is least in the two younger age groups— but then they all the worst paid! -- ACW
