After several years of gains, the number of women in trades dropped in 2019, according to a recent Statistics Canada’s Labour Force report. In 2019 there were 182,000 women in the construction sector out of a total work construction sector workforce of 1.463 million. That’s down from 2018 when there were 186,300 women out of 1.437 million. While there were fewer women — albeit only 4,300 — the number of men working also grew by 26,000.
