Construction leads the way in job creation - By Justin Sayles, Providence Business News, RI
Currently, Rhode Island is contending with an aging construction work force; 18 percent of all the sector’s employees in the state are over age 50, he said. New England, according to the report, has the highest percentage of construction workers over age 50.
Aside from age issues, Mancini said the industry has had a difficult time with retention, largely because it “has not been kind to its existing work force.”------------------------------------------- posted 9:38 AM :: reference link ::
