EDUCATION
Construction workforce shortages undermine the industry's ability to complete projects on schedule and threaten the success of new federal investments in infrastructure and manufacturing, according to data from the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) and Autodesk.

"Construction workforce shortages are severe and having a significant impact on construction firms of all types, all sizes and all labor arrangements," said Ken Simonson, the association's chief economist.

"These workforce shortages are compounding the challenges firms are having with supply chain disruptions that are inflating the cost of construction materials and making delivery schedules and product availability uncertain."
