I’m a construction worker in Ontario, and I know it’s anecdotal, but almost every trade worker has told me the same thing - we’re busy as hell but we can’t find guys to hire. Pretty much for the past 3 or 4 years, that’s all I’ve heard. I was pretty much hired on the spot when I joined the carpenters union in 2019, and I worked with a 19 year old kid who walked into the union hall the day before, and they asked him if he could start the next day. With literally 0 experience. I think we are really hurting for trade workers.
They’re all busy as hell out here, as well. The US has a similar situation but I guess they make it work? Hmm, maybe they’re relying on a lot of illegal immigrants that don’t show up in stats.

That’s what I hear from my buddies in construction also.
Good luck out there bud!
