April Construction Employment Data Shows Robust Demand
Written by Sandy Williams
Construction employment continues to increase in April, but the Associated General Contractors of America say that demand would support the hiring of more workers if they were available. AGC urges the government to enact immigration reform that would boost the supply of qualified workers.
“Contractors face an ever-increasing challenge to find enough qualified workers to hire to keep pace with the ongoing demand for construction,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “Allowing employers to bring in guest workers for positions that can’t be filled otherwise is essential for keeping needed construction on track.”
