Respondents from other minority groups in the construction workforce that said they have experienced discrimination or prejudice were:
- 48% of East and South Asian respondents.
- 43% of Native American, Alaskan Native, or First Nations respondents.
- 41% of Hispanic or Latinx respondents.
- 35% of Middle Eastern or North African respondents.
Until now, reports of racism and discrimination in the construction industry have been largely anecdotal. The study will help NIBS and its stakeholders to quantify the problem and identify where work is needed, according to a press release.
