@bayouboyz7: Can we hear from wonen electricians out there about you experience? women face severe underrepresentation in the electrical field, making up only about 2% to 3.5% of all electricians, at the same time the U.S. faces a massive, nationwide shortage of skilled electrical workers. The Electrical Shortage & Gender Gap • Overall Shortage: The U.S. electrical industry requires an estimated 1 million additional electricians by 2035 to support climate goals, renewable energy, and infrastructure updates (such as solar panels, heat pumps, and electric vehicle chargers). • Low Female Representation: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), women account for only 2% to 3.5% of active electricians, meaning there is a massive untapped labor pool. • Retirement Deficit: According to the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), thousands more electricians retire each year than enter the pipeline, intensifying the need to recruit women into apprenticeships and training programs. #women #electricians #tradeschool #construction #apprenticeships
