I need your help. You’ll be helping your children, grandchildren, friends and neighbors, too. You may not realize it, but there is a severe shortage of workers in just about every residential construction trade. Here’s another reality: Over 70 percent of the U.S. population hires people in the trades to perform construction and maintenance tasks on their homes.
A shortage of workers leads to higher labor costs and often longer wait times for quality work. It’s time to bang the gong and let young students and young adults know that a life-long vocation as a plumber, electrician, carpenter, painter, drywall finisher, etc., is both fulfilling and respectable.
