According to a survey of ABC members, 75 percent of
respondents’ companies are experiencing a shortage of willing and qualified
craft professionals. These results support the findings of the Construction
Labor Market Analyzers’ 20/20 Foresight Report, which shows there will be a
nationwide shortage of nearly 2 million skilled craft workers by 2017. More from this press release here…
The Problem:
At the peak of
the recession, the construction industry lost nearly 30 percent of its
workforce. Now, the industry is facing an aging workforce, an insufficient
pipeline of new workers and lost workers that moved on to other industries.
The Result:
According to the
Construction Labor Market Analyzers’ 20/20 Foresight Report, there will be a
nationwide shortage of nearly 2 million skilled craft workers
by 2017.
