Fox News: Democrat lawmaker says the word manufacturing 'sounds like a guy,' might be why field has few women

Rep. Gabe Evans criticized this viewpoint, emphasizing a focus on job creation rather than perceived sexism in terminology. A 2022 report indicated that while women comprise 47% of the workforce, only 30% are in manufacturing roles.
