Industry Update
Eighty percent of construction firms report they are having a hard time filling hourly craft positions that represent the bulk of the construction workforce, according to the results of an industry-wide survey released recently by Autodesk and AGC of America. Association officials said shortages pose a significant risk to future economic growth and they released a new workforce development plan to solve the growing problem.
No matter if you're in hurricane reach or not, every construction project should have a disaster management plan in place so jobsites can be secured or quickly recovered in case of a catastrophe.
