I propose to create an article on the "Racial wage gap in the United States" for 4 reasons:
1. A racial wage gap exists in America and has been documented by many scholars and written about in many journals. Research includes the wage gap for various minority races in the United States, its presence across various occupations and industries, and possible causes and solutions. There is thus ample evidence for the racial wage gap, and this collection of research merits an article to summarize and combine it.
2. The racial wage gap is important topic because inequality in wages is especially detrimental because they are the means by which individuals and families procure food, shelter, healthcare, and other necessities. Differing wages therefore lead to differences in these necessities which they procure, which puts racial ethnicities in America at a disadvantage. Opportunities are thus limited because of the racial wage gap.
3. The racial wealth gap in the United States is something that is not commonly understood amongst American citizens. While some deny its existence altogether, some also attribute it to things such as differences in education or skills. Research shows, however, that these differences cannot account for all of the difference that is observed in wages. Thus, this article is invaluable in combating misconceptions about the racial wage gap as well as for further informing those who already know of its existence.
4. As the racial wage gap has been verified through research, there has also been discussion on possible ways to eliminate it. Thus, I intend on making a section on these solutions and welcome other contributors who know of other ways that have been proposed. In this way, this article will serve to inform and also to provide a space for collecting of ideas to eliminate the racial wage gap.

The first sentence of the lead should prevent this article as being considered for a GA. The relationship between slavery and wages is WP:FRINGE with the exception of African-Americans, and a minority position even then. It should not be in the lead. I'm not saying there is anything else appropriate or inappropriate about the article, just that the first sentence is inappropriate anywhere in a lead on Wikipedia.

Hi all. I will be expanding the article on occupational segregation in the next few months and will add a link to it in the occupational distribution disparities section of this page. Since currently Occupational segregation only talks about gender segregation, I will make the page more relevant to this article and discuss causes and effects, as well as possible solutions to racial occupational segregation.
