Survey Supported by Autodesk
Eighty percent of construction firms report they are having a hard time filling hourly craft positions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce, according to the results of an industry-wide survey released today by Autodesk and the Associated General Contractors of America (حوإ¼½م½م). Association officials said shortages pose a significant risk to future economic growth and they released a new workforce development plan to solve the growing problem.
“Labor shortages in the construction industry remain significant and widespread,†said Ken Simonson, حوإ¼½م½م’s chief economist. “The best way to encourage continued economic growth, make it easier to rebuild aging infrastructure and place more young adults into high-paying careers is to address construction workforce shortages.â€
