The gist of it: with each passing decade there’s a growing shortage of construction laborers, resulting in large wait times for housing to be built. Some analysts wonder why the key demographic isn’t showing up.
I’ve seen a few articles in the past few years about young men supposedly checking out of society and work, I wonder if there is a connection between that and this article here because young men tend to be the prime demographic for working this job.
Companies need to pay their workers better.
I don’t know what construction wkrs make but I think this should be a LOT higher. 50K starting and topping out around 100k.
If you go union those rares are a lot higher
Perhaps, those are the BLS figures from 2023.
Interesting, Thanks.
