This picture is made even worse by how it is skewed along race and gender lines. The highest paid positions in restaurants tend to be held by men and people who are White while the lowest paid positions are typically held by women and people of color. At the bottom of the ladder are undocumented workers. who comprise over 15 percent of the restaurant workforce. more than twice the rate for nonrestaurant sectors. The good news is that it doesnt have to be this way. There are forwardthinking restaurant owners who are choosing the high road. restaurants where conscious efforts are made to break down gender and ethnic divisions and that choose to pay a living wage with good benefits.
