These appendices to the Onsite Construction Workforce Utilization by Sex and Race/Ethnicity Research Brief, produced under the Apprenticeship Evidence-Building and Administrative Data Research and Analysis portfolios of studies, summarize the methodology the study team used to estimate the proportion of individuals in onsite construction and similar occupations by sex and by race and ethnicity. The appendices begin by describing the data used to capture relationships between occupations and to approximate the population within each occupation. The appendices then detail the processes the study team employed to determine similarity between occupations and to estimate the distribution of workers across sex and race and ethnicity categories in an occupation or set of occupations. The appendices also include a description of the variance estimation methods used for the estimates and a description of the approach to estimating the number of low-wage workers in each workforce.
