AGC Wants to Know Whether You’re Facing Worker Shortages

Over the past several months, AGC of America has received a number of reports, most of which were anecdotal, about sporadic shortages of workers and talent in certain parts of the country.  At the same time, overall construction employment, while rising steadily, remains well below peak employment levels.  As a result, we’re having a hard time gauging the extent of worker shortages and if and where those shortages may be impacting construction projects.  Please take a few brief minutes to complete our survey so we can conduct a better assessment of if, where, and to what extent there are actual shortages of skilled craft workers or qualified construction professionals.  Your input will help us correctly calibrate our messaging to elected officials and the media and will also guide our efforts to support workforce development.  To take the survey, go to http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/AGCWorkerShortageSurvey. Thank you in advance for your time and support.
