Aging workforce and immigration crackdown drain skilled labor
Original: Aging workforce, immigration crackdown are depleting skilled workers
US employers are losing skilled tradespeople at both ends: older workers are retiring faster than young people enter the field, while tightened immigration enforcement is removing or deterring many immigrant workers who filled those jobs. Regional outlets across the country report the combined shortage is hitting construction, manufacturing and other skilled sectors, leaving employers struggling to fill openings.
Why now: New reporting links a worsening skilled-labor shortage to the combination of retirements and stricter immigration enforcement.
