AGC of America Seeks Your Input on Qualified Workers and Possible Workforce Shortage

The AGC of America continues to hear from its members nationwide that the labor market has become tighter since AGC of America last surveyed firms about the extent of workforce shortages. While it is clear that worker shortages are a growing concern, and in some cases a significant problem, for many contractors, AGC feels it is important to continue its efforts to better quantify where these shortages are taking place, how severe they are, and what steps firms are taking to both cope with tight labor markets and improve the supply of new, qualified workers. That is why AGC is asking you to take a few minutes to complete the following workforce survey. Your responses will help better define the problem to elected and appointed officials, the media, educators and peers within the business community. The more people understand the scope, and consequences, of a tight construction labor market, the more likely they are to act on the measures identified in the AGC Workforce Development Plan that are designed to make it easier for school systems, local associations and private firms to establish career and technical education and training programs. Please complete the survey by Friday, July 17.
