Group seeks 20,000 workers for Gulf Coast reconstruction - By Alan Sayre, AP, via The Boston Globe
The region already faced a shortage of construction and maintenance workers before the storms. Now, various studies have put the post-storm shortage at up to 150,000 workers.
About 300 trainees are already in the program, and extensive recruiting is starting in Baton Rouge, La., and Jackson, Miss. -- two areas that took in large numbers of storm refugees -- and will be expanded to other cities. Participants take a four-week course, which primarily covers basic safety, targeted at filling entry-level positions in various skilled construction and maintenance trades.------------------------------------------- posted 5:45 AM :: reference link ::
