Similar to the trend seen for women overall, the representation of women of
underrepresented races and ethnicities (see Definitions slide) is mostly flat (Figure 3).
Women of underrepresented races and ethnicities still make up 20% of the supply
chain workforce overall, which is similar to the percentage that comprises the U.S.
labor force (20.3%).*
In terms of sector performance, the healthcare and life science industry has the
largest percentage of women of underrepresented races and ethnicities across the
total supply chain workforce at 26%, followed by the supply chain providers with 22%
(up from 14% in 2023). Women of underrepresented races and ethnicities make up
just 13% of the industrial supply chain workforce, (down from 20% in 2023) and 19%
of the consumer-retail workforce.
