abstract: 'The construction industry has insufficient interest and participation
from women, as well as an existing gender wage gap. To address these
issues, a better understanding of the recent situation regarding gender
workforce biases and income differences is required. Therefore, this
study analyzes employment levels and wage distributions in 2015 by
gender through data collected from reputable sources, such as the Bureau
of Labor Statistics (BLS), Data USA, and the US Census Bureau, on
employment and wage gaps related to gender in the construction industry.
This data was normalized, and an analysis was conducted to compare males
and females versus the total population and median wages. The analysis
confirms the existence of gaps in both of these areas, reports that this
trend has remained steady over the years, and identifies the top ten
construction occupations in which discernable gaps from Data USA can be
observed. The purpose is to emphasize the latest status of construction
industry employment and wage discrepancy related to gender. This study
will contribute to the area of workplace diversity and discrimination by
drawing the attention of decision-makers to the problem and encouraging
them to develop approaches to reduce disparities. Subsequently, with the
attainment of the preceding objectives, the researchers hope this
technical note can help increase the interest and sustain participation
of women across the construction industry.'
