ATLANTA—The commercial real estate industry is growing ever more diverse. Still, many say it's not diverse enough.

The Commercial Real Estate Diversity Report reveals the industry is 39.5% white women, 36.7% white men, and 23.8% black, Asian, or Hispanic men and women. Not surprisingly, white men hold most of the jobs in every category, from senior executives down to technicians. Minorities—women and various ethnic groups—held the most clerical jobs in the commercial real estate industry. But that is changing.

“As our country's population continues to grow and become more diverse, so does the workforce as well as the consumer and client base,” Amy Ringsdorf, ReeceNichols corporate counsel, tells GlobeSt.com. “For years the residential real estate workforce has been predominantly female while the commercial real estate workforce has been predominantly male. We're now seeing more women enter into commercial real estate fields.”
