  • No UVA employees make less than $15 because UVA instituted a $15/hour minimum wage in 2019.
  • UVA demographic data is self-reported; percentages in some graphs don’t add to 100% because
    • a) some employees did not disclose their demographic information and
    • b) some racial groups were excluded to protect the anonymity of individuals in groups with small numbers.
