Betsy Wagner, Wagner Equipment Co., Aurora, walks through her days in an industry that is still very much a man’s world. It is rare to see women in the construction industry since women only comprise 8 to 10 percent of the workforce.

In her role as Sales Development Manager, Wagner must fit in and get along with the men on her own team plus those who are customers and potential customers. “It takes product knowledge and hard work to command respect—and being able to talk the industry language is part of it,” she says.

The Department of Labor’s Wage & Hour Division’s final rule on overtime will likely return in October, says the agency.
