Road Ahead - Constructive Criticism By David K. Choo, Hawaii Business
The Pacific Resource Partnership’s Nobleza Magsanoc says that proper planning will keep the upcoming construction boom from going bust.
"We are looking closely at the labor supply. We represent union contractors, which are signatories with the Carpenters' Union. The union has made a commitment to train as many tradesmen as needed. We are in the process of building a training facility on Barbers Point. But the biggest concern that we have is that we want to be accurate about the industry's demand for labor. What we don't want is to bring in so many new workers, and then realize later on that there is no work for them. I've heard estimates as high as 70,000 new construction jobs in the state. That seems awfully high. I've polled our contractors and have worked closely with UH, and our estimate is more in the neighborhood of 7,000 to 10,000 new and replacement workers."------------------------------------------- posted 6:42 AM :: reference link ::
