In the second of our series, here’s FORGE’s new fact sheet pulling together key employment-related statistics from the new NCTE/NGLTF study, “Injustice at Every Turn: A Report of the National Transgender Discrimination Survey.”
Getting and staying on the job
- Transgender and gender non-conforming respondents experienced unemployment at twice the rate of the general public
- Over one-quarter (26%) reported that they had lost a job due to being transgender or gender non-conforming
- MTFs: 36%
- FTMs: 19%
- 47% have experienced an adverse job outcome, “such as being fired, not hired or denied a promotion because of being transgender or gender non-conforming”
