When looking at the presence of women in construction over the past decade, great strides have been made in balancing the ratio between men and women within the industry. However, a true equilibrium remains well out of reach, providing an opportunity for today’s leaders to craft solutions that will attract more women. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, women made up 14% of all construction workers in August 2022, an all-time high for the nation. This continues a steady, albeit slow, increase from 12.5% recorded in August 2016.
