Lumber jobs are down, while construction grows By BOB ANEZ, AP
While wood products work languishes, those in highway construction, commercial and home builders and specialty trades such as plumbers and electricians, have plenty of work.
''We've managed to be busy in most all of our divisions and certainly look for that trend to continue,'' said Crennan, whose Billings-based JTL Group specializes in highway construction and commercial building site preparation.
But being busy has made finding skilled workers difficult, he said. With an aging work force and seemingly dwindling interest in the construction training among younger workers, companies are having to train their own new hires, Crennan explained.------------------------------------------- posted 7:34 AM :: reference link ::
