We've had a labor shortage for sometime now.
And between market forces and legislative focus... I don't see it getting better.
We're building as fast as we can get the materials and labor together, so much less time for small projects.
It doesn't matter how fast the local public school building construction course can supply us with trained trades people... we just keep absorbing them at ever higher rates of pay.
Of course they need that to pay for the cost of housing in the area.
