    Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao Announces Skilled Trades Initiative: Labor Department, Industry and Union Leaders to Address Worker Shortages by Promoting Skilled Trades Careers DOL News Release
    Partners in the initiative include the Construction Industry Round Table, the National Heavy and Highway Alliance and its affiliated international unions, and the National Association of Home Builders.

    Many of the skilled trades are currently facing a shortage of workers and the number of people needed to fill these jobs is expected to increase dramatically over the next several years. Construction laborers, operating engineers, carpenters, iron workers, cement masons, bricklayers, truck drivers and many other construction related crafts are among the trades expected to see the greatest demand in workers over the next 6 years.
