Women Are Missing Out on the Biggest Job Boom in America

FTA, "She recalls being a construction manager on a solar project and having to make multiple requests for plans from a contractor. She never received a response, and the information was instead being sent to one of her male colleagues, according to Yarmoff"

This has nothing to do with her being female vs male. I oversee a GC's IT infrastructure and the amount of times people have complained about hounding subcontractors and engineers for RFI's/Specs/OEM's is ridiculous and is a common occurrence.

Usually there is a lot of cooks in the kitchen and it isn't uncommon for a RFI to go to a site superintendent that is overseeing the job rather than the PM that is in the office.

I do agree there is a huge lack of women in the field when it comes to installers and people doing the legwork vs managing, but I think that comes down to personal preference. Most women I know don't want to work 60-72 hour weeks on construction sites, although there are some I'm sure who would be great at it.
