An influx in civil spending could put even MORE strain on the industry labor shortage | Walkthrough Wednesday

Brace for impact. The recent uptick in civil spending could put a serious strain on the current labor shortage. As more and more jobs are coming down the pipeline, the demand for labor will continue to increase. What happens when the supply of construction workers fails to meet the demand? Hiring processes are expedited and companies may hire less experienced employees for supervisory positions.  However, this practice could compromise job site safety. Workers must be trained properly for the position they’re filling. It’s critical towards avoiding an uptick in serious injuries and fatalities.
