Construction Workers Are Getting Paid Big | Business and Finance News

from The Daily News Now! Business

Construction just became the hottest career move right now—workers switching jobs are landing pay bumps of nearly 13% year-over-year, with median salaries topping $59K. Why? A massive labor shortage fueled by retirements and booming projects like data centers gives skilled tradespeople serious leverage. Employers are scrambling, and even non-construction companies are launching training programs to fill the gap. If you’ve got trade skills—or want to get them—this is your golden ticket to financial stability, especially as traditional degrees face rising costs and uncertainty.
