It's tough to find a good contractor around here and they're charging more than ever, but to say there's a shortage would be an overstatement.
As for the fast food industry whining about their turnover: they created their own problem. They admit right in the article that they made the jobs so mundane, easy, and impersonal that they made their employees "easily replaceable". Their language! They made working for them completely unfulfilling and their employees to feel like robots, so the employees leave to find something more meaningful. Look at someone who slings fast food vs a server at a restaurant or bar and the comparative income based on how much effort one puts in to make their customer happy. POOR MCDONALDS my fcuking ass.

I talk to construction workers daily and they are all are swamped. One guy a few weeks back told me he could have 3 or 4 more crews running if he could find the workers.

Nanaimo’s building boom means there’s plenty of jobs for construction workers.
“We’re growing fast and we’re going to be busy so I’m happy with it. Means we’re not going to be sitting around. We’re going to be working working working,” said Andrew Green, a Windley Contracting Foreman.
There is so much work available it’s difficult for companies like Windley Contracting to find and keep qualified workers and all the construction permitted for this year is expected to take 18 months to two years before it’s all complete.

Alberta is not all of Canada.
Look who is training at Tristar.
