A Broken Bargain for LGBT Workers of Color [REPORT]

The promise of the American bargain is that people who work hard will be judged and rewarded based on their contributions and capabilities—no matter who they are, what they look like, or where they are from. Instead of having a fair chance to get ahead, for LGBT workers of color in America, this bargain is in tatters.

A Broken Bargain for LGBT Workers of Color examines how LGBT workers of color face unique challenges related to their race and ethnicity and their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. In particular, LGBT workers of color are hindered by three major barriers: educational barriers; hiring bias and on-the-job discrimination; and unequal pay, benefits, and taxation. As a result, LGBT people of color are some of the most disadvantaged workers in the United States—and face extraordinarily high rates of unemployment and poverty.
