CMV: Disability wage gap is a more serious and less mentioned topic than gender wage gap.

Disclaimer: I am not downplaying the importance of gender wage gap, I am merely stating that disability wage gap seems to be more serious --- if anything intersectionality would imply that different sorts of identities compound onto its social impacts.

&#x200B;

I am a person with multiple chronic issues and have been struggling really hard in finding higher education / jobs. As a person who has long been following gender wage gap, it has only recently hit me that disability wage gap is probably a thing. And indeed, after searching a bit, there has been researchs made which outlines and states the figures of how disabled people are paid less in the workforce.

So cmv: are disabled wage gap actually less severe than gender wage gap? or cmv: are disabled wage gap actually discussed or promoted often in media? or cmv: whatever you see fit  


Edit: Thank you all for your comments! I am trying my best to get to them one-by-one!

Any studies on that topic would need to find and correct for some factor for the reasonability of "reasonable accomodations". Because disabled people not getting jobs that they just can't reasonably do isn't an serious failing of employment practices, just reality.

Did those studies you find do that? It seems like that would need to be done for each kind and severity of disability separately, so that would be kinda hard to get an overall number.
