Diversity and Inclusion in the Engineering-Construction Industry.

Utilizing the American Community Survey (ACS) database, Manesh et al. ([16]) conducted the temporal and spatial association analysis of the gender wage gap in architecture, civil engineering, and construction occupations. The special collection on Diversity and Inclusion in the Engineering-Construction Industry is available in the ASCE Library (https://ascelibrary.org/jmenea/diversity inclusion engineering construction). Utilizing 17,889 data points from USDOT workforce demographic and salary data, Jafari et al. ([11]) investigated wage inequality and developed the evaluation framework to identify employees at risk of wage inequality. They also reported that New Mexico and North Dakota had the highest wage gaps (lower outliers) in 2007 and 2011 in A&E occupations; Maine and Rhode Island had the highest wage gaps in 2007 in construction occupations.
