White men still dominate construction, though some companies are committed to changing that.

Every week, PBN Editor Mark S. Murphy appears on WJAR-TV NBC 10’s Coffee Break to discuss the newspaper’s most recent cover story and other issues with Sunrise and Noon News Anchor Frank Coletta.

This week Murphy and Coletta talk about PBN staff writer Emily Gowdey-Backus’ look at the lack of diversity in the construction industry and what some companies are doing to deal with it, in a piece titled, “Diversity elusive in construction.”
