Construction firms face lack of training and interest as they struggle to fill jobs

The vast majority of California construction firms have open jobs and are struggling to fill them, according to a recent survey conducted by the Associated General Contractors of America and Autodesk.

The survey polled more than 2,000 firms nationally and 85 firms in California on their pandemic recovery and found that the majority were suffering from worker shortages, supply chain disruptions and rising material costs, all of which contribute to nearly nine out of 10 firms experiencing project delays.
