Recruiting Female Employees Increased Sales for Buick-GMC Dealer

Buick GMC of Rochester Believes in the Power of Female Team Members

Dealerships across the country have seen great success from female hiring initiatives. It’s an unfortunate truth, but auto dealerships have long been a male-dominated field. Dealerships like Buick GMC of Rochester are hoping to change that with hiring processes, promotions, and more. Our dealership has always been inclusive to both our customers and our employees, but we are trying to find ways to do even more and make our workplace and our community a better place.

Automobile Industry Women: How Many Are There?

According to catalyst.org, women only held over one-quarter of the automotive workforce, although they make up almost half of the US Labor Force.

In 2020, women held 26.1% of jobs in the motor vehicles and motor vehicles equipment manufacturing industry. They were 21.1% of automobile dealers and 9.0% of automotive repair and maintenance employees.

Women of color made up a fraction of employees in the industry:

• Black women: 6.2%.
• Asian women: 1.7%.
• Latinas: 3.1%.
• White women: 17.5%.

Those numbers continue to dwindle as there are even fewer women in the US Executive Ranks:

• Mary Barra, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of General Motors Company, the first female CEO in the automotive industry in 2014.
• Pamela Fletcher, Vice President of General Motors’ Global Electric Vehicles Programs since 2017.
