"[Women] make up 13.8% of mining and logging jobs, up from 12.6% a year earlier..."

So I'll hazard a guess about a change in what part of those mining and logging industries hired: less manual workers and more office ones as they get consolidated into bigger conglomerates. But I may be wrong.
If I read this correctly: https://www.bls.gov/cps/cpsaat11.htm in 2018 you had
- 2.6% women for logging workers
- 5% for Mining machine operators
