ABC's Meyer Stresses Worker Training, Rebukes Employee Free Choice Bill
Training the150,000 to 200,000 new workers needed in the U.S. by 2014 has made workforce recruitment and development the single greatest challenge facing the construction industry, says Missouri contractor David Meyer.
“When you’re adding that many people to the workforce, that’s where we need to place our emphasis,” Meyer says. “And the demand (for workers) keeps increasing, so that estimate keeps increasing. The problem is not going to get solved anytime soon.”
