Construction Labor Shortage
We have a serious labor shortage within the construction industry! What has caused this mess, the recent recession. When the recession hit, workers lost their jobs. These workers then left the industry to be retrained in another line of work.
With the current increase in building and remodel work, we simply do not have qualified people to fill the required positions. Almost 75 percent of contractors surveyed said they are struggling to find qualified trade workers.
