    Povetry:

    Overall, more than one in five LGBTQ+ adults (22%) are living in poverty, compared to an estimated 16% of their straight and cisgender counterparts.

    Trans folks in particular suffer from unemployment due to discrimination, and those that find jobs suffer from low wages and underemployment:

    • Transgender workers report unemployment at twice the rate of the population as a whole (14% vs. 7% at the time the workers were surveyed).
    • More than four in 10 transgender people (44%) who are currently working are underemployed.
    • Transgender workers are nearly four times more likely than the population as a whole to have a household income of under $10,000 (15% vs. 4% at the time the workers were surveyed).
