Disabled people effectively stop earning from today due to pay gap
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Disabled workers will effectively work for free from today until the end of the year, according to fresh analysis of the disability pay gap. Earnings between disabled and non-disabled workers remains a significant 2.24 an hour, which means disabled employees working a 35-hour week have to get by with more than 4,000 less a year on average compared to those without disabilities, according to the Trades Union Congress."
The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigating issues such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and producing documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes parsing facts from messaging, claims trust across the political spectrum, avoids paywalls, and requests donations to continue sending journalists to report both sides. New analysis from the Trades Union Congress finds a disability pay gap of 2.24 an hour (15.5%), meaning disabled employees working 35 hours a week earn over 4,000 less annually than non-disabled counterparts. Disabled people face additional monthly costs averaging 1,224 to maintain the same standard of living.
