As the latest Construction Labor Market Report from the Home Builders Institute (HBI) shows, the construction industry currently needs approximately 723,000 new workers each year to meet demand (residential construction currently represents 3.2 million, or 33%, of the total U.S. construction payroll employment of 7.9 million workers).
The number of open jobs in the construction sector currently averages between 300,000 to 400,000 every month. At least 90% of single-family builders responding to survey by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) reported a shortage of carpenters, and 80% to 85% reported a shortage of subcontractors in six other trades. Among remodelers, more than 80% reported a shortage of subcontractors in 11 of the 16 trades listed in the survey. ... See MoreSee Less
