BACKPRS Report Reveals a 26% Pay Gap Between Ethnicities
PRS’s annual pay gap report revealed a mean ethnicity pay gap of 20.0% and a median ethnicity pay gap of 26.3% between white employees and other ethnicities. The gap is predominantly driven by the proportion of Black, Asian or ethnic minority background employees in lower banded roles.
The report also found a mean ethnicity bonus gap of 58.4% and median ethnicity bonus gap of 42.7% in favour of those identifying as white, caused by a smaller ethnically diverse population in senior roles.
These roles come with a greater bonus opportunity as a percentage of salary, and a higher base pay, creating an even wider bonus pay gap.

A Historic Night in Metropolitan Opera Return
After eight minutes of applause, the curtain had dropped for a final time, and many members of the cast of “Fire Shut Up in My Bones,” the first opera by a Black composer in the 138-history of the Metropolitan Opera, began to cry.
“This is crazy,” said Terence Blanchard, the composer, as he embraced singers, dancers and musicians backstage during opening night on Monday. “This is amazing.”
The Met was finally back, more than a year and a half after the pandemic had forced it to close — costing the company $150 million in revenues, prompting it to furlough most of its workers without pay and raising, once again, pressing questions about how opera can survive its latest challenges.
