- Abstract
- The construction industry faces a stern challenge over the next decade to maintaining a highly skilled and competitive craft work force. The challenge to the industry comes from many fronts not previously encountered and stemming from the changing characteristics of the United States' demographic composition, economic, social, technological, organizational, managerial, and world political influences. This study was limited to an investigation of the characteristics of the construction craft work force in the year 2000 as influenced by the above factors, a prediction of the insufficiencies probable in the work force 2000, and subsequent recommendations to negate the insufficiencies to maintain a work force of sufficient size and skills to meet the needs of the industry in 2000.
