The number of tradeswomen (those working in hands-on roles as general contractors or subcontractors) currently stands at only 2.5% of total construction industry employees. However, the tide is beginning to turn.
Between 2014 and 2019, there was a 64% rise in women-owned construction firms to now account for 13% of the industry as a whole. The opportunities are there and they’re growing—for good reason too.
After spending the better part of a decade rebuilding itself from the 2008 recession, the construction industry is now facing a new kind of crisis: a significant labor shortage for skilled craftspeople.
For many young adults, college and a four-year degree are strongly encouraged over skills-based apprenticeships with electricians, plumbers, and other construction jobs. With 41% of the current construction workforce anticipated to retire by 2031, the US could be in demand of over one million craft professionals in the next 10 years.
Creating positions for women on the jobsite and then training and supporting them as they don their hard hats, is the only way for the industry to survive.
