Study: Janesville-Beloit ranks near bottom of U.S. metro areas for minority worker pay


JANESVILLE
Genia Stevens, the operator of a local business incubator for Black entrepreneurs, isn’t surprised that one recent national study ranks Janesville and Beloit near the bottom of the stack of small metro areas when it comes to wages for minority workers.
Stevens, who is Black, started her own consulting business years ago to help augment her pay at a job she worked in Rockford, Illinois. Years later, after Stevens no longer worked at the Rockford job, she learned from former colleagues that she had been paid far less than others in the office.
“Back then, I just thought the economy was bad or maybe I hadn’t really asked for enough money,” she said. “But later, I learned something I hadn’t realized at the time. It was that the white person next to me who had the same education, the same experience, even the same job, was making $10,000 more than I was making,” Stevens said.
