Dow Jones, the publisher of The Wall Street Journal, paid its female employees 86.8% of the pay of men who held the same jobs last year. This is according to a report by the Independent Association of Publishers’ Employees. It covered full-time IAPE-represented employees.
The problem is part of the pay structure of every job examined, which includes only the company’s journalists. Women made up 47% of the Dow Jones journalist work force as of the end of 2015.
Black and Hispanic employees did not do much better when compared across all titles held by journalists. White males made $1,773.05 per week. Hispanic/Latino males made $1,320.68 per week, while Black/African-American males made $1,227.88 per week.
Similar trends were true for “reporter classification,” and also based on comparable years of service.
