Construction has historically been a male-dominated industry. However, the female presence in this area has been continuously growing. With Women’s History Month approaching, I wanted to share with you a new study by Today’s Homeowner that looks at women in the construction industry, including employment representation, pay, and geographic differences.
Out of all 50 states, we found that Texas ranks #30 for the highest percentage of female construction trade workers.
Here are some of our main findings:
The percentage of women in the construction industry in Texas is 2.6% which is #30 in the country.
The top 5 states with largest representation of women in construction is South Carolina, Georgia, Washington, Florida, and Arkansas.
Seven of the 10 states with the highest percentages of female construction trade workers are in the South.
Over the past five years, the pay gap has improved for construction managers by 2.5 percentage points, but worsened for construction trade workers by more than 17 points.
