Less than 1% of the construction industry operative and site-based workforce are women (UCATT 2015), and it has been estimated that less than 4% within the workforce as a whole are from a black or ethnic minority background (Chaudhry 2014). Whilst the industry has been a traditional employer of foreign and migrant workers on sites, they have been estimated to only form around 12% of the site-based workforce (McMeeken 2015).

But some see the humor in it. One worker in the film holds up a pair of jeans with a 40-inch waist. He grins. You can fit two people into these jeans. Only America can wear 40-inch waists. Says another worker, rocking back and forth on his train ride home Here is the difference between America and China. In China, if you make... [Pg.10]
