• Citigroup's female employees earn 29% less than male ones in the latest report about the pay disparity among employees.
• Women make up just 37% of senior positions between the levels of assistant VP to managing director, despite their making up about half of Citi's workforce.
• “The numbers are difficult,” said Sara Wechter, Citigroup’s global head of human resources. “We should obviously be at 100% parity, and that’s what we’re striving for.”

Citigroup says female employees make 29% less than male ones across its global workforce, and that women make up fewer senior positions. Equally damning: people of color are paid about 7% less than their white peers.
