Dallas Builders Association has just released news that 20,000 construction workers are needed Last year Dallas-Fort Worth homebuilders started almost 34,000 homes. But that number of homes could of been more if more workers were available.
“We are 20,000 construction workers short in D-FW despite wages rising 35 percent for most needed trades,” said Phil Crone, head of the Dallas Builders Association. “I only see the shortage easing if the demand eases. “More than 92 percent of our members cite the lack of labor as having a significant impact on their business,” Crone said. “In most cases that’s adding a month and more than $5,000 to every home built in our area.” READ MORE: HERE
