The construction industry is the nation’s largest single industry, employing more people and contributing more money to America’s bottom line than any other single industry.

Construction was facing a labor shortage before the arrival of COVID-19. Now, existing backlogs and stalled projects are getting back on track. And with the need for new schools, hospitals, housing, and other commercial buildings increasing, the industry needs even more quality workers to get the work done.
