    HARD HATS SEEM HARD TO FIND By HUBBLE SMITH, Las Vegas Review-Journal
    The highest demand is for superintendents and project managers whose salaries start at about $70,000 and top out at $125,000, Frye said.

    'As far as trade employees, most of the (union) halls are empty,' Frye said. 'If you call the Carpenters' hall, there's nobody there.'

    He said the engineering school at University of Nevada, Las Vegas, produces only about a dozen graduates a year, so McCarthy goes to campuses in Arizona, California, Oregon and Utah looking for graduates with engineering and construction management degrees.
