Developers' biggest need: workers By HUBBLE SMITH, Las Vegas Review-Journal
An economic report from the Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation lists carpenters as the highest-demand occupation requiring long-term preparation.
Carpenter employment was 18,115 in 2003, with 871 average annual openings projected from 2000-2010. The average annual wage of a carpenter is $42,382.
'While we continue to man calls every day and we've taken in 200 members a month, they (employers) obviously would like to get the worker they want and it's probably not what they like,' said Marc Furman, administrative assistant for Carpenters Local 1977 in Las Vegas. 'Productivity also is an issue when there are lots of jobs to pick from. Managers that like to dictate by fear have no leverage.'------------------------------------------- posted 7:03 AM :: reference link ::
