- Abstract
- Obtaining reliable estimates of future labor supply has been difficult, especially in the construction industry, with little attention having been given to the topic. Information as to the available long-term supply of labor has been scanty and the information which has been available has been of questionable value. With labor generally available and mobile in recent years, labor supply information has been a low priority issue, but changes in the composition of the work force in the United States in recent years suggest skilled construction workers will become a scarcer industry resources. The purpose of this project has been to review all available sources in order to develop a data base of information which can be utilized by the industry to identify long-term labor supply needs.
