They’re known as roustabouts in the oil & gas industry; in textile mills, they’re called “hands” and on ships, they are deckhands. They’re the ones who tote that barge and lift that bale – albeit using mechanized assistance today. They are essential ingredients in any industrial endeavor, including in the construction industry where general laborers are the beating heart of most projects. A contractor’s inability to staff construction labor jobs adequately can result in higher costs and longer than anticipated completion times.
Finding a fresh supply of construction labor candidates can be challenging today, given the competition for eligible recruits. A report by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects a 7% growth rate in construction laborer employment from 2023 to 2033, which is higher than any other industry’s labor demand. The competition for general construction talent is high, making it difficult for contractors relying on their human resources (HR) organization to attract and retain good workers for jobs.
