Can you tell me the statistics on the number of women working in construction.
<|assistant|>
According to the US Department of Labor, less than three percent of workers in the construction industry are women. In 2018, women made up only 2.7% of the construction industry workforce, slightly higher than the previous decade’s numbers (2008-2009). However, construction remains a male-dominated industry, with males accounting for about 97% of the construction industry workforce. Despite the low number, the percentage of women in construction has steadily increased since 2007.
