London’s Ethnicity Pay Gap Sees Minority Workers Paid 22% Less

Workers from ethnic minority groups in London are paid 21.7% less on average than white employees, according to Office for National Statistics data.

The capital -- which is home to the highest proportion of workers identifying as being from an ethnic minority group -- had the largest pay gap in the country last year, figures drawn from the Annual Population Survey showed. Across the whole of Britain the difference was 3.8%, with employees from a minority ethnicity earning more in the north east and east regions.
