White men more likely to get raises they ask for than others

According to a new PayScale survey of over 160,000 workers, white people are more likely to get the raises they ask for than people of color.Women of color, including African Americans, Asians, Latinas and other non-white employees, were 19% less likely to have gotten the raise they asked for than a white man. Men of color, meanwhile, were 25% less likely to get the salary bump they asked for, compared to their white colleagues.Lydia Frank, vice president of content strategy at PayScale, says that bias could be a factor into why people of color are facing this disparity: “We know from many studies that people tend to gravitate towards people who are like them. You may end up giving favoritism to somebody on your team who reminds you of yourself rather than someone who is pretty different from you. You may not even realize that it is what you are doing.
