I agree. My observation is that most construction companies keep a small permanent workforce. This protects them in lean times during economic difficulties and when interest rates are high. When times become more prosperous, they can take on more workers, however these are often contractors or subcontractors who are not in any "employee" category. From the builders' viewpoint, they normally prefer to contract tasks like framing, bricklaying, and general labor.
I believe you might see larger construction companies where the environment is unionized. |
