“Access to opportunity remains a challenge,” Hired CEO Josh Brenner said in the report.

That 37% is actually down from about 42% last year.

That percentage increased from 7.3% less likely the previous year.

Hired also found the wage gap narrowed across race and gender in 2021.

White women, on the other hand, gained 2 cents, going from 93 cents to 95 cents.

This potentially signals that even if something is working, it’s not working for everyone.

The report comes at a time when the industry has faced persistent scrutiny for itslack of diversity.

Black candidates still saw the widest gap in salary data.

Their wages were 1.8% lower than white candidates.
