Education / Training
We like big round numbers. They provide targets to aim at in pursuit of a goal. With that kind of focus, it is remarkable how often the goal is achieved. The ability was always there, sometimes the effort and attention just had to be directed appropriately. For the longest time, construction was referred to as a 90/10 industry (male to female workforce breakdown). A blip earlier this year made it 89/11. Not quite as resonant. And there has been recent news touting one million women in the construction workforce. I suspect aiming for a million or talking about that as a goal was not in most people’s regular discussions. Why? It’s a really big number—most probably had no idea what the current number is—and the industry is disaggregated. How would a company even know the impact of hiring one more woman?
