U.S. says construction industry will need extra 501,000 jobs 

0 234

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts around 646,100 job openings each year in the construction sector from 2022 to 2032. This surge in demand is due to a shortage of skilled workers in the industry, which struggles to keep up with increasing market needs. Home repairs, especially for single-family homes, are in high demand, with the National Association of Home Builders estimating a need for over 1.15 million new single-family homes annually to address housing shortages.As homes age, the need for repairs and updates also rises, further driving demand for skilled tradespeople. The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts faster-than-average growth in employment opportunities for various skilled trades between 2022 and 2032. For those considering a career in the skilled trades, researching areas with the most significant projected growth can help plan a successful career path.
