What percentage of Sheet Metal Works are women?

• A. 2 percent
• B. 4.5 percent
• C. 6 percent
• D. 8 percent

Answer: (B)

In this field, gender representation is relatively low, so the figure that best matches the data is 4.5 percent. This reflects how women have historically been underrepresented in skilled trades like sheet metal work, and how current efforts to broaden participation are gradually changing that share. Seeing 4.5 percent helps you remember that women remain a minority in this trade, while the other numbers imply a much larger or smaller share than is typically observed.
