💸@faunalytics’ study on salaries & pay gaps in the animal advocacy movement, first of its kind, is now out! A marginalized person (BIPOC, disability, LGBTQIA+) makes 85¢ per dollar that a non-marginalized person makes (p<.05), adjusted for age, country, yrs of exp, & job lvl.🧵
A bar graph showing the average adjusted salary for marginalized and non-marginalized animal advocates. Marginalized advocates make $58,400 compared to $68,600 for non-marginalized advocates. These average salaries have been adjusted for age, country, job level, and years of experience. The difference is statistically significant.
