And the pay gap widens when considering minorities. The average gender pay gap in U.S. tech is 3 percent — but the research showed that for LGBTQ women that gap rises to 8 percent, while Hispanic women are paid 9 percent less than their white male counterparts. Black women were being paid just $0.89 for every dollar earned by white men in their companies, the survey found.San Francisco's tech scene had the smallest gender pay gap of the five tech hubs specifically highlighted in the report.
Los Angeles, New York and Seattle had gender pay gaps of 8 percent in their tech sectors, way above tech's average gap of 3 percent across the whole United States. Most women in the survey said they felt discriminated against because they were not taken seriously by company leadership.
