Statistics on the construction labor shortage
- The U.S. construction industry faces a shortfall of over 546,000 workers right now, and that number could climb past 2 million by 2028 if trends continue (Home Builders Institute, Bureau of Labor Statistics).
- 70% of construction projects nationwide are delayed due to labor shortages, costing billions in stalled infrastructure and housing development.
- The construction labor participation rate is at its lowest point in decades, with the industry losing more than 1.1 million workers between 2008 and 2020 due to economic shifts and retirements.
- The country needs to build 4.3 million additional housing units by 2030 to keep up with population growth, but the workforce isn’t growing fast enough to meet the demand (National Association of Realtors).
- The average age of construction workers is 41 years, and with 25% retiring by 2032, the labor pipeline is shrinking faster than it’s being replenished.
National Impact:
- A $1 trillion backlog in infrastructure spending is at risk of significant delays, jeopardizing everything from transportation projects to renewable energy installations.
- Labor shortages are driving construction costs up by an average of 17% per project, which directly impacts housing affordability and community development.
- The ripple effect: Every delayed project means missed economic growth, slower job creation, and stalled progress for local communities.
