Description

Peggy and Donna Laquidara-Carr, industry insights research director, Dodge Construction Network, talk about a new study and some of the biggest obstacles that are preventing more workers from joining the construction industry. She says there were two pieces to the study: surveying contractors and the general population.

They also discuss:

• The top way construction professionals are drawn into the industry.
• How to expand beyond what we are doing now.
• The disconnect between the perception of what is keeping people out of construction and what is actually keeping people out of construction.
