Construction boom is magnet for workers By Kristen Schorsch, Iowa City Press-Citizen
'There just aren't as many young people going into construction as what it used to be,' he said, adding that he thinks young people are more interested in computer technology.
But if the projects are staggered - allowing laborers from the same trades to work on projects at different stages - there will be enough workers to go around, Hahn said.
'So far we haven't seen a shortage that's affected anything we're doing,' he said.
Hughes, now recording secretary of the Carpenter Local 1260, said he does not expect a shortage.
'We've got excess capacity just within locals in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area that would absorb a lot of that work,' Hughes said, adding that workers in Waterloo, Des Moines and the Quad Cities could drive to the Iowa City area for jobs.------------------------------------------- posted 6:57 AM :: reference link ::
