Intel Achieves Pay Parity for Women and Minorities
Tech giant Intel recently released its Diversity & Inclusion Annual Report 2016, detailing the state of women and minorities within the company. While the report makes clear that the overall increase of underrepresented minorities in Intel’s U.S. workforce was small, reaching 12.5 percent in 2016, up from 12.3 percent in 2014, the company achieved 100 percent pay parity and promotion parity for both women and underrepresented minorities.
From meeting its retention goal to the incredible achievement of pay parity for women and underrepresented minorities, Intel is moving forward. Evidenced by the small rise of underrepresented minorities in their U.S. workforce, there is room for improvement and work left to be done. The important thing to recognize is strides are being made, and any forward movement is better than standing still or regressing.

Happy Women’s History Month!
The month of March is Women’s History Month, dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the central role of women in American history. Women’s History Month began as Women’s History Week in 1981 and was observed as such until 1986. Beginning in 1987, resulting from petitions from the National Women’s History Project, Congress extended the week to a month. Every year, Congress passes a resolution for Women’s History Month, and the president issues a proclamation.
What’s the Real Reason Women Get Paid Less than Men?
Despite the amazing progress of the past century, women continue to struggle with a lack of pay parity. Currently, women working full-time earn just 80 cents for every dollar a man earns-that’s $10,470 less annually-and the elimination of the gender pay gap has largely stalled over the past 15 years. A recent Wells Fargo report delves in to the real reasons women are still paid less than men.
