What has happened to construction labor in the united states?

Construction labor has changed in the United States. The ability for members of the construction industry to find qualified labor has gotten harder over the decades. This study will look at what changes have occurred in the population of the United States since the 1950’s. Specifically how these changes in population and the increasing development of construction projects effects the ability to find construction labor. The study will compare population data with the amount of construction work being done. We are looking at the changes in our population that have affected the industry in terms of labor that is available. It does not answer the question completely about how to fix the issue of labor, but it begins the conversation in regards to what has happened to labor over the decades and what is likely to happen moving forward.
