That said, there are additional challenges to reporting on ethnicity that are distinct from gender reporting. (The government offers 18 different classifications of ethnic groups for census data in England and Wales.) Deloitte offers a single pay gap, showing the difference in pay between whites and all others. A more detailed analysis is needed because a binary pay gap figure, modeled on how gender pay gap reporting is done, can conceal disparities between different ethnic groups. For example, according to a government survey, average hourly pay in Britain in 2018 was 11.82 pounds ($15.53).
