NAHB: Residential construction offers growing job opportunities, but skilled labor shortage remains

摘要

Since the Great Recession decimated the industry, the number of available construction jobs has been increasing, NAHB said, but a skilled labor shortage is still leaving many jobs unfilled. According to a recent Bureau of Labor Statistics data analysis by the National Association of Home Builders, there were 214,000 open construction jobs in July 2016 -the second highest monthly count of open, unfilled jobs since May 2007.
