The gist of it: with each passing decade there’s a growing shortage of construction laborers, resulting in large wait times for housing to be built. Some analysts wonder why the key demographic isn’t showing up.

I’ve seen a few articles in the past few years about young men supposedly checking out of society and work, I wonder if there is a connection between that and this article here because young men tend to be the prime demographic for working this job.

Companies need to pay their workers better.

    First of all you’re being weirdly angry about this.

    Second, my info comes from multiple conversations with union members and union leaders in my area. I didn’t just apply, I talked to the people who view applications. That means I have more insight than you.

    Third, I never said my experience was universally applicable.

    You need to take a chill pill dude, you’re gonna end up catching 20 to life at this rate. I just shared my experience with the unions in my area. Your area is probably different. Someone reading this will probably have a different experience than either of us.

      More nothing and excuses.

      I’m not upset in the least, maybe you should check the tone you read me in

        I mean sure, just ignore everything I said and then claim I said nothing, that’s one approach

          Well, you haven’t said anything of substance yet.

          And remember, I didn’t just apply, I got in. So no, you don’t “know more about it” than I do.
