## Summary

**Wage gaps facing disabled women** are large and unequal across race, veteran status, and education. This resolution would highlight 2024 Census findings that disabled women earn about 56 cents for every dollar paid to nondisabled men and about 68 cents among full-time, year-round workers. It lists racial and subgroup differences, notes disabled women veterans earn about 66 cents compared with nondisabled veteran men, and calls for more inclusive data and efforts to narrow gender, disability, and racial wage gaps.
